The Aglet

Beginning now, I will feature some of my experimental photos taken using Canon 40D, with my walk around lens – a Sigma 18-200mm f3.5-6.3. To start with, here’s a macro shot of the small little thing at the end of a shoelace.

DID YOU KNOW THAT….

The Aglet, is the plastic or rarely a metal sheath found at the end of your shoelace? Yes, it is called aglet. According to Wikipedia,

The word aglet (or aiglet) comes from Old French aguillette (or aiguillette), which is the diminutive of aguille (or aiguille), meaning “needle”. This in turn comes from acus, a Latin word for a needle. An aglet is thus like a small needle at the end of a cord.

The shoes used in this photo is my personal shoes, its the classic Chuck Taylor model of Converse.
