Project 365 : Crop Circles

Despite the beautiful weather today, I found myself once again playing with my macro lens. The subject today was a circuit board extracted from an old XM Radio receiver. Specifically, this is the area on the circuit board where the little rubber buttons contact it to signal user selections. To me, this looked like a crop circle dropped in a field of green.

This image was made with my Canon 7D and Canon MP-E 65mm 1x-5x macro lens. I worked over the image in Photoshop CS4E, using the Bleach Bypass filter in Nik Color Efex Pro, with a touch of Nik Viveza thrown in for good measure. Realizing I forgot to whiten the whites, I bleached them in Lightroom using the Adjustment Brush.

Project 365 : Screw Here

With the rain in place, and a VCR to take apart, I started hacking away, with a thought of starting a week or so of macro shots of itty bitty electronics. Tonight’s image comes from the “Really?” category from Captain Obvious. 🙂

This image was captured with my Canon 7D, Canon 100/2.8 macro lens and Canon 580EX II, and whipped into shape in Photoshop CS4E, Nik Viveza and Nik Color Efex Pro.

Fresh Art: Heart of the Tractor

Heart of the Tractor

I had an opportunity to photograph the grounds of an old farm that was going up for sale. This tractor sat inside an open barn, almost as though it’d been frozen in time. The tractor engine really seemed to speak to me with so many textures and shades. I finished the image with an old-fashioned treatment that seemed to compliment the mood of the piece.

Heart of the Tractor is available through my online gallery, and is available in a variety of sizes.
