Challenge: Inanimate Macro (Advanced Editing VII*)
Camera: Canon EOS-1100D
Location: Indoors
Date: Nov 18, 2014
Aperture: 5.6
ISO: 800
Shutter: 1/125
Date Uploaded: Nov 18, 2014

 Taken with my old M42 fitment Vivitar 55mm 1-1 Macro lens, manual focus, and adapter ring.

Lighting was a led macro ring flash on end of lens set to constant light mode rather than flash. It's a very cheap ring flash but works well for macro shots.

Been wanting to shoot one of these close-up circuit shots for a while as I love the details on them. The title for this entry came from my girlfriend who reckoned it looked like a little town.

Editing (done in PSP-X5): cropped a little, topaz denoise 5 applied, cloned out little specs of dust etc that were annoying me in the shot, raised the vibrancy of the colours, applied topaz detail to sharpen image, resized for challenge.

That's neat how you got a unique depth of field with a macro.

Reminds me of the now-closed electronic store franchise of a similar name.

Great idea, I just wish it were a bit sharper in focus.
