Well done, Chiller! Although we can't live up to the level of the lensbaby this month (don't you already HAVE one anyway? ), I'll be working on getting a little something out there to you!

Congrats, great shot!

Thank you Mad Malteaser, Jonk, Photo gal, Aprilraven,eromallagadnama for your congrats and kind words
Thank you Chase for for the congrats and having these Challenges. There were some really amazing photos there.
A big thanks to everybody who voted for mine. I have been having nightmares of slinkys every since I decided that a slinky looked abstract. Thanks again.

It is dew on a piece of metal at sunrise.
Shot with 100 2.8 macro and 3 extension tubes.
Thanks for asking!

as for the slinky shot - is it two slinkys ?
Some details on yer shot would be great.

 

[M @ k o]

That was an awesome shot JonK. 3 extension tubes ? WoW. Unreal.

 

[Chiller]

Thanks JonK. It is two slinkys. One folded in a circle(the one in front, and another as a backdrop.) I dont have any lighting systems or anything. So I just used a reading light with a goose neck to hover over top. I draped a piece of black silk over a table and taped it to the wall. I used my Canon Rebel digital, and a 28 - 80mm lens, mounted on a tripod, and focused on the center of the front slinky. After fighting with a ton of settings and trying to get the slinkys to behave, I could not get the right light. Then I just went to "p" mode, and took a shot, and hoped it turned out. Thanks again JonK

Congrats Chiller.
A lot of really great shots. It's interesting to see what everyone's idea of abstract is. It's one of those subjects you can really get creative with.
Great job everyone.
