Macroverse

… before my 40D broke last Saturday.

I thought it was fitting that it should be my picture of the month for April not only for this reason, but because it’s representative of the sort of abstracts I have been taking recently: almost monochrome, with a mix of man made and organic elements.

Here the weather staining is the organic component, the squares and circles provide the man-made part. I love those repeated elements and the fact that there is very little to provide a reference to scale (actually this is a two-story tall wall!).

As for the camera – I’ll see what Canon has to say, but I imagine I’ll be shipping it off to be repaired. Judging by the symptoms I’d guess the shutter mechanism has failed. It’s long out of warranty of course…
