Metal Pattern

Uploaded: June 22, 2011

Description

I got a new "foil" cutter head for my electric razor; I loved the pristine look of the gleaming perforated metal, and all-over pattern of teensy, tiny holes.
Out came the macro lens, and I positioned the foil over a red tablecloth for some color to offset the shiny, polished metal.

Terrific capture, colors, and details, Chris.

I plan to be in Washington, D.C. and want to get info from you on photographing in the National Cathedral (love to photograph churches). Thus, we'd be happy to fill you in on the best places to photograph in Chicago and would be happy to show you around. #9475483
