Technology is beautiful II

Published:

Description

This is an extreme macro of the read/write head of an old hard disk. (It's from circa 1996) I used my Sigma 150mm macro with my 2x converter so this is actually a 2:1 shot. The DOF is extremely shallow and it was really hard to get the focus right. Especially since the AF will not work with the converter attached :(

Damn right technology is beautiful!

I have a mini hd (from an old-school laptop) open-faced, (removed the head and turned it into a necklace pendant; its what you photographed here) and turned the drive into wall decor between our two PCs ^_^

I really like the clarity you have on this, and to capture this without getting the reflection of you or the camera - kudos!
