Imagine This

Day 165 of 365

"Imagine This"

 

Only 200 images to go! So, my wife saw her ophthalmologist today, and it was suggested that she try some daily contacts. Upon showing me this diminutive time machine/iron maiden, I knew I had my subject for today's posting. But how to light the little doohickie? For some unknown reason I knew I was going to snoot a green-gelled speedlight at the background. I have no idea. As for the contraption itself, I stuck a strip bank directly overhead, and shot into my shiny, black tile beheath the.....thing. The horizon line vanished nicely, as the tile simply reflects the background. Lastly, the nut-like thing at the bottom was very dark, so I had to do something to bring up the exposure. On the last frame, I hit the screw with a focused flashlight, and composited it into the image of the widget and background. Ta-dah......? Thanks for saline by!!!!
