Procrastinating! Yay!

I have two projects due in one week that I haven't started on! Anyways, of course what do I do instead of working?! Take pictures. My mom bought me some colored pencils that are really cool looking and I just now started using them.

I think this photo is cool because of where the focus is. It's focused on the middle of the stick and it shows the texture.

I would like this picture except it's really noisy. I should've lightened it up a bit or something to control that.

I like this picture because of where the focus is. (Once again, thank you manual focus) However, if I could retake this photo I would move over a little bit so the farthest pencil isn't cut out. It's barely cut out but it bothers me because the pencil just abruptly ends.
