Palpable

Error in details. The camera was a Leica M8 with Visoflex and 65mm Elmar lens; 160 ISO, B&W setting, exposure reading off grey card.

Nice concept no matter the equipment. Good lighting for this type of subject. ( highlights maintain detail) My only beef is the way it is presented. I prefer a square frame for this one. Your mileage may vary. Looking forward to more in 2009. Best, LM.

Hi L.M. Thanks for the comment and the square format looks OK too. I guess I am an assymetric individual. Sorry to reply so late, but I tend to forget what I post.

There is something about macro shots of stainless steel dinnerware on a black

background that appeals to me. I am doing a series on such ustensils, in different

compositions. This one has a palpable feeling to me, but I will leave my own feelings

about it at that. What might it communicate to others, if anything? I would welcome

what you think - for, against or indifferent - as all comments will help in my little

project, which is continuing with older, and grittier, ustensils.
