Challenge: Abstract Macro IV (Basic Editing*)
Collection: Challenges
Camera: Canon EOS-5D Mark II
Lens: Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 L Macro IS USM
Location: Harwich Port, MA
Date: Mar 8, 2012
Aperture: f/5.6
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/320
Date Uploaded: Mar 8, 2012

 This is the fresnel lens in a Ford Escape headlight, seen larger-than-life. Magnification on the lens was just under 1:1. The lens hood was touching the headlight. So it's a "true" macro in every sense of the word. Never mind that it looks like the Disney Concert Hall :-)

The reflections and light are perfect- and you don't usually see these geometric metal abstract style shots done this well, even when people are shooting a sculpture or modern building. And all YOU needed was your headlight?

Yea, I can't think of a good title either. This reminds me of some part of a space ship. Congrats on TT!

Very cool and abstract. Can't figure it out. I've came back to this photo a few times and am still stumped. Looking forward to finding out what it is.
