These are all older pics. I need to get more. The bass in most of these is a 68 P Bass.

Thanks for the comments everyone. I had an oppurtunity to borrow a Canon 20D with a dedicated Canon macro lens (sorry, I don't know the exact one.)

Normally I use a Digital Rebel and a noname macro lens. I haven't had much time to get out and shoot lately, but I was always taking day trips with my wife and camera. I don't really know much photo theory, but I like to go out and shoot for fun.

The machine head shot embodies a couple pretty classic "tricks:"

forced foreground; making something that otherwise not be in the pic part of the very front of it...the out of focus worm drive gear crammed in there...nice.

field line magnetism: forcing the viewers eye to follow a line of sight to objects off screen, not necessarily seen...but your brain wishes it could. the line to the back of the pic, and the other way blurred out machine heads...also very nice.

the light is also very nice in that it allows the defects in the driven gear, and the not so very polshed surface of the screw head seem aesthetically pleasing, instead of appearing as faults. ambient light tho, right?

well done.

I just kinda thought it was a neat shot, but yeah... all that stuff you said! :D ;)
