Backlit Forks

Macro Monday's and the theme of "Forks".

 

For this week I spent the most time just contemplating what to do such as what angle I would have the fork? How many? Would I have food on it?

 

While playing with a couple of forks earlier in the week I found that crossing the ends of two forks gave a pleasing result and gave grid like shapes when the tines of two forks were overlaid. I was also amused when I looked at the gallery early in the morning and saw someone else had thought to try this as well.

 

The lighting aspect was giving me the most thought until I remembered a photo that I took for a challenge a couple of years ago. It was based on kitchen utensils and I chose a bottle opener. I decided to back light it with two flashes so it was in silhouette but the outline of the opener was highlighted. I decided to do this but also tried it first with a Red/Blue gel combination and then a Red/Green combination.

 

In the end I liked the Red/Green version as the colours are more contrasting and the green came out better than blue.
