Community Photography Lovers Contest 📸 Macro Screws 🔨

almost 3 years ago (Edited)

Greetings guys! If anyone lost a screw, here you can find it. And if life gives you screws, learn how to take macro photos! 😁

I honestly didn't know what photos to take to participate in this contest. I've seen great photos from great photographers participating and it intimidates me. I love macro photography of insects and flowers, but I don't have a macro lens that allows me to take good macro photos to be able to compete, still, that didn't discourage me and I decided to get out of my comfort zone and do something cool with what I have (My cell phone and a magnifying glass for macro photos with cell phones). I looked around the house for things to photograph and of the many things I found and photographed, it was the photos of the screws that caught my attention. I got distracted taking so many that I had to make a selection of the best ones.

Saludos chicos! Si alguien perdió un tornillo, aquí lo puede encontrar. Y si la vida te da tornillos, aprende a hacer fotos macros! 😁

Honestamente no sabía que fotos tomar para participar en este concurso. He visto fotos geniales de grandes fotógrafos participando y eso me intimida. Me encanta la fotografía macro de insectos y flores, pero no tengo un lente macro que me permita tomar buenas fotos macros para poder competir, aún así, eso no me desanimó y decidí salir de mi zona de confort y hacer algo genial con lo que tengo (Mi celular y una lupa para fotos macros con celulares). Busqué en la casa que poder fotografiar y de tantas cosas que encontré y fotografié, fueron las fotos de los tornillos las que me llamaron la atención. Me distraje tomando tantas que luego tuve que hacer una selección de las mejores.

Of course, when it came to screws, screwdrivers were a must. This tiny screwdriver is the one we use to adjust the screws of the hinges of the rods of the lenses, whether they are sunglasses or reading glasses.

Por supuesto si se trataba de tornillos no podían faltar las de los destornilladores. Este diminuto destornillador es el que usamos para ajustar los tornillos de las bisagras de las varillas de los lentes, sean estos de sol o de leer.

And here I extended a little bit more, it was a fun photo session that I thought why not give some prominence to a cable and another small screw that asked me to photograph it too!

Y aqui me extendí un poco más, fue divertida la sesión de fotos que pensé porque no darle algo de protagonismo a un cable y a otro pequeño tornillo que me pedía que lo fotografiara también!

It was difficult for me to choose the photo for the contest, so I would like you to tell me in the comments which one you think is the best for the contest. 😉

Me fui difícil escoger la foto para el concurso, así que me gustaría que ustedes me dijeran en los comentarios cual creen que es la mejor para el concurso. 😉

Here is the post of the contest invitation. If you like photography, come and participate! https://peakd.com/hive-194913/@badge-696969/bringing-back-the-community-photography-contest-macro-theme

Thanks for stopping by

With love. Maria Ballesteros. 💜

Siiii, me da miedo colocar mi foto porque esos fotógrafos profesionales la patean con esas fotos espectaculares que ellos toman. 😁 Monter-one también me intimida con sus fotos! 😂 Gracias Andrew por la visita y por ayudarme con la elección, vamos a ver si logran hacerme cambiar la foto en el concurso. Vaya un abrazote y espero que estés muy bien! 😘

Interesante propuesta, si no has conseguido los tubos de extensión macro puedes probar dando la vuelta al lente, de todos modos así como lo hiciste quedó bastante bien, me gustó mucho la última foto, suerte en el concurso.

Por cierto aún no he comprado los tubos, no puedo comprarlos por ahora pero en cualquier momento más adelante los voy a comprar. Y las fotos volteando el lente de la cámara casi que salen de la misma calidad que las que tomo con el celular y la lupa que tengo, entonces no vale la pena hacerlo de esa manera. De todas maneras gracias por tu consejo! 😉

I also think the two is nice, already two people have picked it, I think I'm going to have to edit the comment in the contest post. Thanks for helping me out. 🤗

You have to go with your own choice though. Number one is also really good!

Cool shots. I liked that it was a nonconventional approach to macro photography.

I'm glad you liked it, honestly I did want to do something unconventional, I was unsure but I think it turned out well. Thanks for the support Wes, and for proposing these contests, they make us get out of the box. 🤗

Chama tengo un gripón horrible, no es covid ojo! Pero me tiene tumbada. apenas estoy respondiendo los comentarios. Oye esas imágenes me quedaron geniales no creí que salieran bien porque eran simples tornillos, pero la verdad estoy contenta con el resultado. Después de no saber que fotos hacer para participar, estás quedaron perfectas, ubiera preferido algo de la naturaleza pero no podía salir. Gracias por pasar por aquí mi Gora querida. Te mando un super abrazote y espero que todos estén muy bien!🤗😘

Thank you my friend! I'm so glad you discovered my post and liked it. I hope it was a good example to show in your interview. Sorry for replying so late but I have a bad flu that has me in bed, it's not Covid thank goodness, but it's got me fucked up. Thanks for the beers! Cheers! 🍻
