Out of focus necklace


On a sunny afternoon I decided to do a little macro photography and, after experimenting with a few household articles to no good effect, I turned to my standby on such occasions - my wife's jewellery box. I knew there were a few new necklaces since I last looked so I took some shots of them. Once again to no good effect. Then I remembered that it was a long time since I'd taken any deliberately out of focus photographs. So that's what I did. The best of my efforts is above. The subject is, essentially, a coil of a string of graduated black ball bearings that are biggest at the centre of the necklace and getting smaller at each end.
