Challenge: Puzzle Macro III (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Canon EOS-20D
Lens: Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM Macro
Location: Ryan's place
Date: Dec 16, 2009
Aperture: f.11
ISO: 100
Shutter: 3'2
Galleries: Macro, Food and Drink
Date Uploaded: Dec 19, 2009

 A face found in a very extreme macro of a hunk of Stilton cheese. Stilton is a blue cheese, so it is full of lovely blue-grey veins of mold! ;-)

Shot with ambient light (may have used a handheld flash), camera on a tripod, and with the use of a great macro lens. Sorry babe, but fun though it is, not switching over from Nikon just because of one lens!

Post-challenge: Bahahahahaa, had so much fun grossing people out with this shot! Quite a few did correctly guess what it was, though.

The game is not only to make something we have to find, but also make a nice pic. This one stumped me, but also made me hungry.
