Try It Too-sday: Needle

It's time for another Try It Toosday! The day I attempt to recreate a photograph that caught my eye. This is number 18 of the 21 I hope to complete this year.


Today is a macro photo of a needle, threaded with yarn. Here's my version:

This is my inspiration photo which I saved in June of this year. I don't know who the original photographer is. 

Every time I attempt another of these photos, I learn something new. Today my lessons dealt with lighting for a macro photo, measuring angles, photo ratios, and depth of field. After experimenting for a couple hours, this is what I was able to produce.
