Knobby

Coming soon to a theatre near you: Perry Clotter and the Listener of Earskaban!

 

But the true star isn't Perry, it's Knobby, the free sound elf. Will Knobby, with a little help from his friends, finally defeat the evil Lord Tinnitus and the mean army of Deafentors and save Rockwarts? Spoiler alert: Lord Tinnitus has already won, but the Deafentors are beaten.

 

A slight panic set in when I read what today's theme would be. Since I had already shot my knob-related bolt for our B&W theme and I couldn't find the miniature sample perfume bottle with the beautiful knob-like cap that resembles a mushroom, I had to find some other knob. Fast. But Knobby heard the call and came to the rescue. When I switched on my Bluetooth headphones to browse YouTube and later stream a movie the other day, my gaze fell on the joystick knob on the headphone's right ear cup. This tiny thingy (diameter: 5mm/0,19 inches) is used for controlling volume (up/down) and for play/pause/previous/next (left/right). The cross with its grooved surface provides a good grip despite its tininess, and it's very convenient to use.

 

The headphones are of a nice blue colour, and to make the knob more interesting, I once again used my makeshift colour filters to add two more hues: red (scratched transparent chocolate box lid from the left) and green (small green glass bottle from the right). It's a single shot (high-res mode so I could crop in nicely), processed in LR and Color Efex.

 

HMM, Everyone!
