I really like this, Mike!
An excellent b&w abstract.

Great Mike. Abstract, macro and stacking in one shot.

 

[Palouse]

You must stay up nights conjuring up these fabulous abstracts, or you do in your sleep. Very nice, and it looks great on the front page .

Ooh, what a nifty abstract!! Well done! The lighting really makes it, as does the sharpness of the entire thing. You're doing great with this focus stacking deal!

 

[Walter Rowe]

Very nice. I imagine you played with different working distances or focal lengths to determine exact composition and how many "ovals" to capture. I think you have chosen well. Just enough for context without being too busy.

Thank you to Bart (especially for recommending the home page feature), Binnur, Dave, Ron, Nick, Connie and Walter!

It's the perspective that makes the shapes appear as ovals; when viewed from directly above, they are perfect circles.

I have no idea whether it's obvious what the subject is. Do you know what it is?

You can put your hand down now, Walter!

Muffin pan.

To be precise, it's a mini muffin pan. It holds 24 muffins. It was delivered yesterday so I could make the muffins today: https://www.nikoncafe.com/threads/financiers.320807/

You're the master of light Mike, that's a good one.
