20090210 - The Red Mark-ers

For: Four Colour February

Following on from yesterday's fire extinguisher pic, we had TWO false fire alarms at work today!! I considered a pic of the fire engine... but thought it might look a bit, err, suspicious. lol

So instead, I raided the stationery cupboard :)

Took ages to get something I liked. But the other versions don't look so bad either now I can see them on big-telly :)

Canon EOS 5D ,Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM
1/200s f/7.1 at 100.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Very creative, they do look like candles. Are you going to set them alight tomorrow?

Wow, there are so many of them, now I understand why the firefighters decided to go out.

Fabulous composition! Great reds and dof.
Cindi Smith11-Feb-2009 00:02
I like it! Definately would have gotten a fire engine shot if I could have but I wouldn't want to make them think you did it! Great reds here!

Fabulous macro. I too thought they were candles.
Who would have thought they could look so interesting.
beverley harrison10-Feb-2009 22:10

J. Scott Coile10-Feb-2009 21:47
Looks like plenty of ink for red lines :-(
Doug Cruden10-Feb-2009 21:45

Walter Otto Koenig10-Feb-2009 21:21
Nice focus on this I like the narrow depth of field and the side lighting.
Nicki Thurgar10-Feb-2009 20:41
Great macro Phillip, definitely candle-like!
Mairéad10-Feb-2009 20:36

The dreaded red marks...makes me shiver just thinking about it.
Love the light.
jlm10-Feb-2009 19:34
Superb image with nothing ! Bravo!
Faye White10-Feb-2009 19:31
markers never looked so good!
Guest 10-Feb-2009 19:01
I thought they were candles at first. Is it just for marking others peoples work, they must get a lot wrong if you need that many red pens.
Excellent composition as ever.
