Möbius Reflections
Explored January 24, 2023
And once again it's one of the last photos, taken today... I should start earlier in the week to at least think about what I could do for a theme. This time, a leftover piece of sew-on reflective tape came to my rescue. I taped it together to make a Möbius strip. I originally wanted to do something with very thin (only 3 mm / 0,11 inches wide) double-sided adhesive tape that one can use in scale modelling or watch modding or other small-sized DIY projects, but it looked dull. Then I thought I'd use regular clear adhesive tape, but...let's say: Hats off to anyone who has actually used clear adhesive tape for the theme. I found it impossible to present it in a nice-looking way, especially since my "photo studio" aka living room table isn't exactly a cleanroom ;) I already wanted to skip when I remembered my box full of tapes and other stuff which I'm using for makings bags and such, and since I always use reflective material on any bag I make, I also had some reflective tape in that box. Which made my Monday :)
Width of the Möbius strip: 3,5 cm / 1,377 inches; it's a single, handheld shot which I've illuminated with my makeshift colour filters (blue tealight holder on LED lamp from the left, another LED light shone through a green bottle from the right, and a small LED flashlight set on "spotlight" placed in front of the strip. Processed mainly in DXO (the basics such as sharpness and noise reduction) and LR (where I added some "colour oomph" with the primary sliders). And yes, I focused on the lint ;)
HMM, Everyone!
