A pinch of vintage and a dash of light

Can you guess what this is by looking at it?

 

Okay, I'll tell you :)

 

I didn't know spoons came this small. These are four tiny spoons held together by a ring - the sizes are a dash, a pinch, a smidgen and a nip in descending order. Here, the dash (the largest) is sitting on the other three. They are lying on a piece of glass, with sparkly paper in the background.

 

Then, I did another image without the spoons, and tried some light painting for the first time, having been inspired by others on Flickr. I used my fairy lights and a slow shutter speed and swung the lights back and forth in front of the sparkly textured paper. I then layered the light painting image over the first.

 

It was so much fun that I ordered some more coloured lights and want to experiment more with them.

 

Shot with Oreston 50mm and all three Kenko extension tubes, and it's a six image focus stack.
