Time Inverted

Day 267 of 365

"Time Inverted"

 

Once again I had no idea what to photograph for today's posting. Then, like an epiphany, I randomly spotted a miniature hourglass from a board game. I guess it is actually a minuteglass. How will we ever know? So, with my 100 macro on the camera, I placed a strip bank on each side of our subject. and gelled each one. The camera-left strobe has a doubled CTO (full orange gel), and the camera-right strobe has a double violet gel on it. They are complementary colors.....as you cannot see. With a shutter speed of 1/125th of a second (the fastest sync speed for my camera and strobes), I flipped the minuteglass in order to capture the falling particulates. Once getting to my computer, I realized that there was not enough color saturation for my taste. Then I thought (to myself), what if I simply reversed the colors, and took complete control of the color saturation? I agreed...and we did it. Thanks for spending some time with me!!
