20080917 - Writing Instrument

The September Scavenger Hunt

#17 - Writing Instrument or Window

Work gave me this pen for being a good boy! Makes you wonder if it's worth the effort sometimes....

But oh no - photo taken with newly obsolete camera! The 5D has been updated... time to start saving some pennies - perhaps.

Canon EOS 5D ,Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM
1/200s f/2.8 at 100.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Looks expensive...but of course your worth it !! maybe you could sell it on ebay & put the money toward a new camera !!

Super macro!
Digital cameras are like new cars, lose value as soon as you buy them.
Barbara Heide18-Sep-2008 12:07

Very creative approach to the theme - love the very shallow depth of field. It "makes" the image as does the off-center subject.

So what's the reward for being a good boy? A pen to stay behind at 3.30 and write 'lines'?
Laryl17-Sep-2008 23:26
well done.. got right to the point!
Nancy Lobaugh17-Sep-2008 23:26
right to the point.. we'll have to see if my new toy does as well...
Kathryn17-Sep-2008 23:17

Looks good in B & W.

You could sell your new pen on ebay to help pay for the new camera !
Malcolm Smith17-Sep-2008 20:04
Nice shot. New 5D looks awesome, but I've just been told "you do not need that unless you are going to start selling photos"! No 5D for me then :(
Máire Uí Mhaicín17-Sep-2008 20:04
This is wonderful! You're set up for all those cards and letters and chequebook signatures now!

I though it was a window!
