Push Pins In Black and White

The dullest pin is not wearing a white hat! Must not be me.

Sharp!!!

Sharp, too . . .

Push Pins In Black and White by HamWithCam.

Canon 50mm Compact Macro, handheld. See it Large.

Manual exposure 1/30 and f19 using lighting by a single JTL Versalight-300, with 2' x 2' softbox, postioned high and slightly to the right. Strobe fired using Pocket Wizards.

Backdrop is a single sheet of common 8 1/2" x 11" copy paper held by a cardboard box.

Conversion to black and white via Adobe Photoshope CS2 using a simple Channel Mixer and Curves approach.

That came out nice. Good exposure, good composition and I like how it fills the frame. It appears balanced because of the the one metal push pin. Oh Push Pin! I get it!

Oh, of course!
Missed that the first time.
Thanks, Ham. Looks great, and I agree with Dave about the one metal pin.

Obviously, John, you're the sharpest pin in the bunch. I'm the dullest, which one is that?
