Color Out of Space
I admit I'm a little late for Halloween but the (pretty scary but visually beautiful) 2019 Lovecraftian horror movie with Nicolas Cage and Joely Richardson came to my mind while searching for a title for this photo. And it's probably the "Protection" against said "Color Out of Space".
You've seen small parts of this Casio G-Shock watch for two earlier MM themes (please see the first comment). Please don't ask me how I got this distortion effect. I wanted to get as close as possible to the "Protection" lettering (that you find on all G-Shocks) while showing all its letters, and I wanted to play with sharpness and blur. That's the obvious part. At one point I put the translucent red plastic lid behind the little scene instead of using it as a colour filter, next I rearranged the LED lamps, and the weird distortion just happened. I liked it so I took a few images. And since my first idea didn't work out as planned, I decided to stick to the "pink distortion".
The "Protection" lettering measures 1,7 cm/0,66 inches. The photo is a single shot taken with the Laowa 50mm Ultra Macro lens. Processed mainly in DXO PhotoLab 8 and LR, and I had to do some de-dusting in PS although I had carefully polished the watch before taking the photo. It's the old macro dust story ;)
HMM, Everyone!
