If “going close” means macro to you, that’s fine. If it means making an intimate portrait, that’s fine to.
Have fun this week, go close

For this challenge I will likely have to post more than one photograph. Yummy! This is definitely to my liking!
Will surely go close some time this week.
Ground black pepper, salt, ground dried chili fruit.
Three things I use in the kitchen quite often. Best viewed large really.
Pepper and chili have warmth and depth, they are nice 2/3 of this picture. I think it’d be improved if you use natural light illuminating the salt, or at least diffused the flash some. The direct flash light makes the crystals plain and flat, which lowers the overall impression, in my opinion. Lovely close ups of pepper and chili, très cool!
My first attempts used much more diffused light on the salt but they were even worse, the shadows was necessary to see the crystals at all so I settled for this though I was never completely happy with it. It turns out salt is very difficult to light so that you can actually see the crystalline structures. I will work more on the salt thing some other time. I have this idea of doing salt and sugar in a mix…
Maybe it would be enough to set the salt close to a window to get lots of natural light, black background, going even closer? Food photography is tricky stuff =)
I may try to recreate the salt actually. When I have the time
I believe the trick is otherwise to light from beneath, but that is more tricky…
Getting close – but not too close.

Don’t know what happened to the image code.
Maybe it got stripped? Sometimes that happens in wordpress if it’s surrounded by css or embedded tags. Eva, please post a link to the page
*nyfiken*
Yes, it should accept normal <img src="http://www.server.place/pic/picture.jpg"> and even with some frills. Try again or email the link to me if it does not work and I can take a look at it.
Nice Jenny!
I like this a lot. Great use of DOF here.
Trying again – it’s just the copied Flickr code for this one
OK, there’s something in the Flickr code it doesn’t like. But as far as I remember, the “Don’t know what happened”comment contained a page link, though of course I may have made a typ somewhere in the syntax.
@Eva the Weaver
Hi Eva! When you post flickr pictures on external sites as this one you need to grab the code you see when you do this: Go to the picture page, then press “All sizes” on top of the picture. From the new page choose “Medium” as picture size. You will then see two boxes under the picture, one with several lines of code, grab that one and paste in the comment. That should work better. I can’t do it from your picture here because it won’t allow me, I think that’s because of your privacy/rights settings on the picture.
Na, na, na. That’s EXACTLY what I mean with “Flickr code”. I’ll make a second try, here:
And if that is gobbled up, too, this sentence is what comes after where it was…
I don’t think it has to do with my settings on the pic that you don’t get any code to grab (seeing as the picture is public and I always have a CC license that ony excludes commercial use). What I have deduced from experience with Flickr is that you only get the code grabbing opportunity a) on your own pix; b) on pix in a pool where you are admin (or mod?) (so that you freely can use participant’s pictures in discussion threads). I sometimes fake it, meticulously – using a sample of my own as base, and changing all the relevant info. Because, of course you can copy and paste the page address and grab the URL for the Medium image, separately.
Now we’ll see.
OK. That was swallowed again
Okay, one more try. This time I want you to log in to the site, then post and see if that helps. I will email you login data in the email to the address you have on your last comments here. Then we should be able to determine if perhaps a user must have an account in order to be allowed to post pictures.
That may well be the case. The address is my private email, and I shouldn’t be doing more of this from work anyhow, so I’ll do it from home, this evening. See ya!
Trying once more, when logged in:
Trying with Safari instead of FireFox. Delete the ones that do not work if you wish.
Ah--hem (last try)
This is really strange. It worked first try for me. Now I will logout and try to post it as an anonymous comment and see what happens then.
And that attempt is the Krutong posting, I presume? D’ya think there’s a setting for this that you could find? Or I’ll just have to mail you the code when I wish to post a photo here…
Yes, I must take a look at that. There is probably some permission levels and definitions somewhere that strips out code based on if you are an admin or not. In the mean time you can mail me or Jenny and we will post the links.
I’ve tried this myself now and I can’t post an image if I’m anonymous user, but then again I’m admin when I’m logged in. Hm. I use a plugin at ondska.se which makes it easier to post images, try http://www.trevorfitzgerald.com/2007/12/wordpress-comment-images/
Eva, jag gillar din taggiga närbild. Precis lagom djup, och kombination taggar och päls får kaktusen att se ut som något slags djur, eller det satte iaf ingång min fantasi!
Good stuff! But for using Flickr images off-site you also have to link back to the image page according to the Terms of Service. Perhaps I can make a hack on the plugin to make it do just that… I’ll take a look at it later on.
Ja, jag hade också glömt att ge lov och pris på bilden! Den är kalasfin! Jag tycker om alla sköna kontrasterande toner i den, det ser faktiskt ut som en sorts märkligt djur som Jenny säger!
Tack! Den är faktiskt ganska snäll
Ichimusai, since I don’t use flickr myself I’m not very flickr-things-savvy. Shouldn’t be too hard modifying the plugin to do that link back, I haven’t looked at the code yet though, but logically it should only be something like “if flickr images add this code chunk to the img tag replacement”.
