Photo365 - 155 - Unlucky

I went out in the centre of Worksop with the Oympus EP2 and 14-42mm zoom to do a bit of street photography. This was my favourite from the short session. I've titled it unlucky for obvious reasons.

Photo365 - 154 - skull

I'm not sure why but skulls fascinate me. This one taken this morning on a garden table is of a medium sized bird -probably a blackbird or starling. It was found in a shed. I used the Pentax K20 and 100mm macro.

Photo365 - 152 - Letter Y

Letter Y is a meat fork and the result of pushing the Pentax K5's ISO to the limit. Well judging by the result perhaps not the limit at all. This is set at max of ISO25600...yes there is the double nought it's truly twenty five thousand six hundred ISO.

Photo365 - 146 - Letter V

Letter v of my alphabet sub section of the photo365 project is the side of a perfume bottle photographed upside down. 10 marks if you know what perfume. I really like photographing glass at the lens' widest aperture...
