Handheld using sunlight at 18mm on a reversal ring f/3.5 for 1/500 of a second. I used Rawtherapee to process the RAW file into a JPG and set a custom tone curve.
The brown/olive thread was used to stitch the ripped edges of the blanket I sleep with.
From a project now appearing on the Kreinik website, I used Kreinik Iron-on metallic threads on a styrofoam egg. www.kreinik.com/shops/Iron-on-Easter-Egg.html
Serious cleaning day today and this is all I had energy for. I found the spool of upholstery thread in the back corner of my armoire.

Urban threads pattern in all four corners with the girl in the center. These took a couple of weeks each.
In this picture, I use a knitting needle size US1 to make the loops at the beginning.
I started with scrap thread that was about 30 to 32 inches in length.
Making rings might be a good use for any the scrap you might have!

I'm attempting to re-visit a photograph I did almost twenty years ago when I first got into large format photography.
Well before my time, Ansel Adams photographed scissors and thread. Inspired by his photo, and desperate for a subject to learn to focus with, I photographed my grandmother's sewing shears using a Bender 4x5 camera and a Fujinon 150mm lens (a "normal lens" for a 4x5, roughly equivalent to a 50mm on a 35mm camera).
I've never been 100% happy with the composition, though I found I liked mine better than the one Adams did. (A good sign! You're supposed to like your own work!)
After posting the original 4x5 negative scan on 1x.com, I posted it for critique and received a good deal of useful feedback. This set is my first attempt at using the feedback to make a better photo.
The Wiss scissors are the same ones I used before: my grandmother's shears. The left handed Ghingers are mine.
I have a couple more I made during this session I may upload, but these are the ones that showed any real promise. These are all digital photos, though if I find a really good combination I may re-visit it with 4x5 film.
If you have any feedback on these, please let me know: What would you do differently? Why? What do you like or dislike about the subject, composition, lighting, etc? And most important: Would you hang a large print of this on your own wall?

Today I've had a very productive photo day. As I walked home I decided to force myself to find objects around worth taking pictures of. This resulted in about 50 keepers, most of them macro, because I had a macro lens on. So no strobist stuff today, enjoy some more backlit macro shots with lens flare and bokeh :)
