Hi Gareth, my first thought on seeing this was "They look brand new" so you definitely conveyed that fact! You've also done a perfect job of controlling the light and highlights, showing the details and different textures, and the angle and shadow make it look almost 3D on the screen. It could be an advertising shot :claps:

Thank you most kindly Andrea, for the kind words!
It did do a little tweaking of the lighting to get the separation of the black tool from the black background, and keep the highlights where I wanted them...glad you like it!
I had thought of doing something featuring 'discarded technology' but Stuart (@StuartPearson ) stole it got there first!!
Specifically, mine too featured discarded VHS tapes.
I will therefore call these simply 'Please Rewind'. (Forgive me for the 'throwaway title'! )
This took a long time to unwind...it was an old BASF 300 minute cassette! (I didn't rewind it all, before you ask! )
Great minds think alike!! (Or is it fools seldom differ??)
I couldn’t grasp the subject of the image until I saw the zoomed out version, but now it is clear and has lots of interesting features. Looks like you can take 100 pictures and there would still be a different view to capture. Loving the abstract nature of it, almost hypnotic in nature.

Without seeing the 4th image I wouldn’t have recognised the subject - reminds me of the tv quiz ‘Ask the Family’, if you’re old enough to remember it [emoji4]
The curves and palette make for nice abstracts. My favourite is the third pic - titled Discarded 1?
Some really good images there, your macro work is first rate! These are all really well lit and you've got them razor sharp. Any of them would be a fit.
Thank you kindly Bill!
Is it a bit too abstract?
Whilst drafting the post, I thought perhaps it might be, and so I decided to pop in the wider image for clarity!

Thank you Bebop, for the kind comments!
Ahh yes...I do indeed (only just ) remember 'Ask the Family' - with Robert Robinson naturally...not the later, inferior version with Alan Titchmarsh!
Oh and yes...I got my numbering a little wonky...sorry about that!

Thank you so much Kell, for the very kind words!
Haha, yes, I've been (stupidly) reluctant to even use my new tool on anything other than soft, squidgy copper wire, for fear of wearing them out! (Actually I have only used it once so far....I must be more brave!)
Thanks Chris, for looking and commenting.
Indeed, while I was drafting out the post, it suddenly occurred to me that they might be a little too abstract, so I placed the wider image in there to clarify it!
Oh....and thanks for the 'spoiler'....I really did need a nice little 'peek' today!!
When have I ever been in possession of 'the plot'?
Thank you Helen, for looking and for the kind words!
There's nothing I love more than making people scratch their heads! (Hmm...that sounded funnier in my head! )
That's a great pic for the Discarded theme. I have to admit that I didn't realise what it was but I think you chose the right shot. Nice close-up detail and lighting.

So I saw the first image and couldn’t think for the life of me what it was but liked it all the same. Get to the last image and sir I take my hat off to you you had me thinking long and hard and now I’m kicking myself. Beautifully composed and excellent clarity and lighting. Big thumbs up from me.
