Redoing Christmas
Theme redone: "In a Row", 17 July 2023
This is pretty much a complete make-over of my July version of "In a Row". But not quite because back in July, my second version had included the mirror tile you see here and the red glitter foam sheet as backdrop but I didn't quite like the result. Maybe it had been too Christmassy for July, so my other version "won" by a margin, but I kept the second version in Lightroom as a reminder because indeed I thought of redoing the date cubes (which are a part of "Calendar Dog" that has been my subject for "Animal" in August '23) with the red backdrop for a future MM theme. Along came "Redo", so I did :) I can't say if this version is better than the first one, I like both. But this one is certainly more festive and even quite "party-ish" so it's a nice choice for Christmas and the approaching new year, I think.
The image is a single shot. I've placed the date cubes between two of the hexagonal mini tiles the mirror tile is made of because I liked how the "line" added some extra structure to the image. The "unruly" yellow bokeh ball above the "2" and the "5" must be a reflection of one of the LED lights I've used to illuminate the scene. I left it in the photo because it looks like a little sun or a star. Processed in DXO PL 7, Color Efex (filters used: Brilliance and Warmth", "Skylight Filter", and "Tonal Contrast"), and Analog Efex.
Happy Holidays, and Happy Macro Monday, Everyone!
