Cutting Edge Macro Photos
The theme for this week's macro photo project was "cutting edge." I went with the sharp edge interpretation of the theme. The first photo below is another one of my professional finger model, Dianne. It's not real blood. I used cherry concentrate to simulate blood. The second photo illustrates a really sharp knife -- one that can split hairs. Actually Dianne was able to find a split end in her hair. It took me forever to get that positioned properly across the knife blade. The last shot is obvious. I started the hole and then disconnected the drill and carefully moved everything into my homemade light tent to illuminate the drill bit.

I love the curly q's from the wood. Great job on all 3.
holy crap! I thought you actually chopped your finger! Phew! you're smarter than I thought. (kidding) Great shots!! :)
Cool pictures! I came across your blog one very cold (and kind of boring) evening when I was Googling people I remembered fondly from college. (And who I thought may have done something Google-worthy.) I thought I'd say hello so I'd feel less like a stalker :-). I'm glad you have such a nice life.
Great shots, Earl!
Your skills are sharp, as well.
I especially appreciated the first shot. Your choice of lighting created a dramatic undertone while maintaining the vibrancy of the blood.
Also, greatly appreciate the creativity behind putting together a split-end hair with the edge.
Good stuff.
Thanks for all the comments!
