February Monthly Challenge - "Holes"

Holes in a box cheese grater with LED light inside


M50 with ef-m 32mm ƒ8.0 ss 1/40 iso 1600
wanted an excuse to play with my new lens
I'm known for thinking outside the box but you could say this is a case of thinking inside the box.
Ps i have a cat, lets hope i don't run out of holes to shoot, he is my back up plan

 

One of the charms of living in a very old (originally mediaeval) house is that you end up sharing it with all sorts of creatures.

The Death Watch beetle damage shown below (the larger round holes) is from a long-dead (I hope!) infestation in the huge oak beam which runs across the fireplace in what is now our lounge, but would have been the main and only room of the house when first built.

The smaller round holes are from the more common furniture beetle and the big hole at the top is the result of someone in the past trying to make a hole to mount a light or something similar.

great stuff, i have a huge list of stuff for this month i thought of today

 

I knew there was a reason you suggested this as a topic xD

 

Lool, No i'd had close up and macro as an idea for a while, only thought of Holes on the day i posted it, when you stop and think about it holes is a pretty easy subject,
that being said.......................

Congrats on having a go at a image every day, this can only improve the way you view your subjects and by the end of the month, you will find a improvement in your photography compared to earlier work.

 

Tbh i think there is truth in 'less is more" but we'll see come end of February
Not everything is as it seems.........

 

Been stripping the old crusty paint of my wheels, i'm now wondering what doesn't have holes in it.

its getting lonely out here, no one else find any holes to shoot? has to be the easiest subject yet!!

 

I know what I am going to shoot and I have got some images already. But I have given my sd card reader to someone. Tomorrow I should be getting a replacement so I should be back up and running.

Interesting , Caladina, I was going to say what is it ? I suggest you leave people guessing for a while before you tell us what it is.

 

its an everyday item but i can leave people to guess if you want

 

It's the drum of a washing machine.

 

I was looking for the lost sock.
