20080920 - Button

The September Scavenger Hunt

#20 - Button or Choochoo

How will my trousers stay up now?!?! Actually this came off in the wash about a month ago and has been sitting staring at me since... so I've been staring back at it. Until today, when I made some use of it.
The trousers are still buttonless though!

NB. Tried this shot with some smoke/matches - too much juggling though. Maybe another time...

Canon EOS 5D ,Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM
1/200s f/5.0 at 100.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

LOL. Have you heard of those little tools called needle and thread, they may help. Just try, you don´t have to make a hobby out of it. Superb shot btw. v

A stitch in time saves nine :-)
Love the shadow here, like a church window.

I'm just hoping you get this button back where it should be in time for the Durham meet...

Fine capture, cool play of light and shadow.
Cindi Smith21-Sep-2008 00:08
Very cool and not so easy! Love the light coming through the button onto the shadow! Very nice!
Harrison20-Sep-2008 22:37

This is great - the shadow looks a bit like a church window. It is quite amazing that a simple little button produces a masterpiece! ...

You'r on a roll man! Keep them coming. And do I see "HOT" on the button, a hot button to boot! You'r on fire also. :) great work, love that elongated absence of shadows produced by the holes.
