Don't Let Go
This was one of the "not that easy" themes with so many possibilities that it was difficult to find the right subject and then settle on one final image. Yesterday evening I didn't see the forest for the trees anymore after taking numerous shots of this and that. Today, I once again took numerous shots to try one final idea – and picked one of yesterday's photos. Sigh. Not that I didn't like today's final image of a pen and paper but I found the latter too harsh. You should maybe ask me again tomorrow but tomorrow is Tuesday, so... The pen and paper image is probably better suited for the theme because one can see the two things that are "perfect together" right away while my entry for the theme is more of a guessing game.
To make things short, here's the explanation: The two things perfect together in my photo are the clasp and hook of a golden bracelet (not mine but my Mom's), with the tip of the hook in focus and the clasp that is shaped a little like an 8 as bokeh.
The image is one single shot, illuminated with my two warm-light LED lamps from the left and the right. The blue sheen is from the blue glitter foam sheet that was still lying around somewhere in the background while I had placed the bracelet on the black, glossy tile. What can I say, this image is from yesterday's warming-up mode so all kinds of things were lying around on the table ;)
HMM, Everyone!
