Magnetic Light Orchestra

#Magnetic

 

A fun theme. Originally, I'd wanted to use a magnet sculpture of the Berlin TV tower (it came in separate parts consisting of a ball and several differently sized magnetic steel bolts, so when I unpacked it, I didn't even realise it was supposed to be the TV tower, but thought it's a DIY sculpture of sorts), but it's fairly big on its own, and I also couldn't get rid of the reflections in the steel ball, so I decided to use the smallest bolts only (length: 7 mm / 0,27 inches), and combine them with... whatever stuck to them while I went searching for some interesting-looking magnetic things around the apartment. Which in the end boiled down to two small steel nibs and a Campo del Cielo iron meteorite nugget (which is 3,5 cm / 1,37 inches long).

 

The final image is a 15 photo focus-stacking, combined in Helicon Focus (method A, R1, S1) and further processed in Analog Efex (vignette) and Color Efex (filters "Darken/Lighten Center", "Brilliance and Warmth"); and I think most of you can guess by now what I've used it to create the coloured light ;)

 

HMM Everyone!
