Description I was gonna go for a drive tonight and play with my cam, but my mom wouldn't let me. Something about getting mugged or robbed. I ask her, mom, how are they gonna rob or mug me if i'm in my car? She says, go to your room.

So I go to my room. And I'm looking around my room for something of which to take photos, and it hits me that I don't really have much, except books and papers. So I get my spikes from my car and throw them on a pair of jeans and mess around.

canon eos 300d. f5.6. 3.2secs. nothing done in gimp but border.

I promise no more photos with the spikes. And thanks to *dragonorion for the title suggestion.

Oh wow... I really like this picture... ^_^ It reminds me of my friend Donna. I LOVE how you have some of it so blurred and all that. Interesting approach.

conskeptical [2004-02-15 14:28:55 +0000 UTC]

this is really smooth.
i like the progressive blurring on the spikes, and the detail of the brushing on the sharply focussed one.
the fabric texture juxtaposes really well with the metal as well.
i like this composition.
snaz camera too... lucky you!

Electriknight [2004-02-13 06:13:11 +0000 UTC]

I like the way that mainly the middle part of the picture comes into focus, and the rest of it is relatively more blurred. It creates a neat effect.

this shot is what inspired me to look at your gallery in the first place. first, the contrast in the textures really catch my eye. the faux-leather and metal of the bracelet against the blue jeans, really interesting contrast. and they look beautiful together. i also like the idea of creating a portrait of an object, rather than a person. to me when i see photos like this i see alot of energy in the object itself and my mind puts into into different scenarios not represented in the photograph, as if it's telling me a story. but that's probably just a mental disease, so anyways, nice picture!

The tiny area of focus really grabs me with this; almost tells you what you should be looking at.

You've got to show me how to do that

The spikes kind of remind me of rifle bullets for some reason, heh. Love the texture and the focus.

" I ask her, mom, how are they gonna rob or mug me if i'm in my car? She says, go to your room."

Classic parental line...


As far as the photo... good call on the jeans. Makes for an excellent texture. I like the spikes, too

I have a technical question/clarification, too, since I'm getting a digicam for christmas. I'm assuming you chose the aperture because you wanted the depth of field. But the shutter time ... did you choose that based on the aperture setting or what? 'Cause it seems to my inexperienced mind that 3.2 sec is a rather long exposure...

i do those trips very often. and i'm only been asked about what i was doing once. which means, i hardly meet people when i'm on my trip. hehe.

nice macro!

i like the jeans idea, adds texture to the bg.

nice work.

polished metal on a rough material. its quite industrial but at the same time abstract with all the darkness surrounding the spikes. I like the contrast of the bright reflection on the spikes to the dark material. great shot!
