Nice Neil good to see you had a go at my inspiration with #22, I used glycerine to get the drop bigger, great to see fab idea #20 thats brill
I was going to hold off usin it, but as I had the water out I thought why not.
The zip is still in the bank for a difficult day!
And thanks for the glycerine tip.
Fantastic photos! I look forward to seeing the rest!
May I ask what lens you are using?
Think you'll be hard pushed to beat #22. Awesome pic
I have to say I'm loving the ideas you've had since my last visit into this thread some of them are just brilliant

Hi, Bud, of the latest set it's #25 for me. The shadows really add depth and dimension to the photograph. I'd like to see the red pencil perpendicular...think it would really boost the symmetry.
Reminds me of this place..linky.
Cheers.
Brilliant idea Neil.
I tried something similar with apples last year, but ran out of steam and inspiration when life started to get too busy. Good luck in making it to 101.
Some cracking shots so far. No.13 is the stand out one for me at this point though - superb lighting
LOL, looks like a tepee. I'd like to see the top of the smoke and there appears to be a wisp of white smoke in front of the top of the yellow pencil.
Not easy is it
Plenty more ideas though....
Not seen the last few, brilliant, well explored just gotta hand it to you Neil
Good work Neil
I really like your ideas and the simplicity of the shots (note I didn't say easy! )
Looking forward to seeing it through to 101.
Enjoying this project of yours immensely Neil and from the latest efforts I have selected the random effect of #27 as my favourite
The shadows certainly give it a little something#25 is great. I like how you have got the shadows aswell as the pencils.
Hiya Neil, a great set since my last visit. Good to see it is going well. Really like number 28, that is an excellent idea.
Ace this, i wish i had this much imagination lol keep up the good work
Loving these shots!!
No 13 reminds me of this Queen album cover

Great idea. Really nice collection.
A couple things. #6 doesn't have a tip that is in focus, just the edge of the first pencil. Also as I look through them, I keep being drawn to the quality of the pencils rather than the composition. Some tips are quite shabby. I might have used a better quality pencil with less imperfections if I was to invest this much time in the project.
