Gotcha!
Caught in the act, arrested, and found guilty of beguiling people worldwide into indulging in sweets: the (in)famous Goldbear®, gummy bear by nature, criminal mastermind by design. Interrogations brought his cunning methods to light: a particularly lulling chanting technique called the "Nom chant®". It turns people into totally submissive underlings, nom®ing away without reason until the bag is empty. At least the convict had the grace to duly blush in shame of his evil deeds when his mugshot was taken.
This photo is quite similar to my "Grumpy Rainbow Bear" image (please see the first comment) that I took back in October 2020 for our "Translucent" theme, a "face to face" front view setup. I had this one idea which I was so sure would work out that I didn't start shooting before Sunday evening. You know what's coming. It. Didn't. Work. The glass bear in this image is a giant (in comparison with its tiny edible brothers and sisters) shaped like the original Haribo gummy bear. I have no idea what deluded me into thinking that I could make the shapes of real gummy bears visible if I placed them behind the glass bear's head. The glass bear's head is not only 4 cm / 1, 57 inches wide (which gives you an idea about the size of the frame), but also 3,5 cm deep: much too thick to see anything behind it except colours.
So what next? One lucky thing in this failed setup was that I needed something to put the gummy bears on to bring them to the right height with the glass bear's head. And for that, I randomly used the semi-transparent yellow washing liquid bottle lid that I use as a colour filter for my LED lamps. And all of a sudden the Goldbear® appeared... I had placed two red gummy bears behind the glass bear's head which created a nice blushing effect which gave me the idea for the short crime story. A happy ending? In a way, yes, but I wish I would stop repeating the same mistake over and over again: starting too late with the MM shooting ;)
One last question: What is your favourite gummy bear/ fruit jelly candy colour and flavour?
HMM, Everyone!
Gotcha!
