Found this bolt holding together a section of retaining wall near the sea when I was away last weekend.The second set is on a board walk that is very popular with walkers and cyclists – hence the polish!
Rather like the effect in black and white. Not much more to say!

Great macro, mate.
ReplyDeleteNicely done! They have great texture!!! Cathy
ReplyDeletece macro molts. This is my kind of posts as I am always shooting macro of images like this one. Yours is superb. I really like it. My macro thumbnail has not posted to the Linky Macro Monday site for way over an hour, so I am adding it here.

The beauty of utilitarian things. Love the reminder -- and the reminder of how wonderful it is to have a digital camera@ Perfect black and white.
ReplyDeleteNice photos, Stewart. I like your style!
ReplyDeleteGreat macros! I like photos of "everyday" objects. They really are not so ordinary close up.
ReplyDeleteNice photos! Looks very good in black and white!
ReplyDeleteI like the textures..I have to look to my blog friends from the other side of the globe to get me through the winters here in NY..I look forward to your butterfly shots and anything summer like and fun...thanks for visiting...Michelle
ReplyDeleteIntesting and with such great texture. The B/W works well with these photos.
ReplyDeleteNice tones and texture.
ReplyDeleteHappy MM
Many people seem to think that macro has to be of a flower, but there are macro opportunities all around us. I love the contrasting wood and metal textures, the rustic and the polished, and they do work so well in B/W.
ReplyDeleteLove these shots!
