Spin n float

Helios 44-2 2/58 Soviet lens (from 1975) + FTZ adapter

ISO100, 1/3200 sec, f/2

 

This photo was photographed outside in natural light in my garden.

 

This is one image and no editing other than cropping and color tones have been done. No removing of anything was done. I used a dowel attached to the back of the shell and attached to a tripod behind a shrub to give a floating illusion.

 

To attain the bokeh I had to place the subject and the sun so that the small white flowers, green leaves gives a sort of reflections isolated by empty spaces in between. Also to help further accomplish this the subject was placed further away from the background than it was to the camera.

 

Spin: The background bokeh along with the shell spiral gives (to me) the effect of spinning.

float: The shell seems to "float" mid-air.
