45/365: Thorns

We had a big project due in Traditional Photography II today. Inspired by the images of Karl Blossfeldt, I decided to try my hand at fine art-style macro images with my Elan 7ne. Since it was a film class, it was quite challenging. I'm happy to report that my set of images received positive reviews from all concerned, which is the first good thing that's happened to me this week. So, yay.

I did take test shots with my Canon 7D digital SLR. I'm sharing those outtakes here. This one is a macro shot of a Mexican fan palm thorns. It didn't make the cut because of some technical issues, but it cleaned up nicely in Photoshop for my 365 photo project.
