... stardust ... by Dag.Ban

Crazy Tuesday - Theme of July 21, 2020: Shallow depth of field

Another experiment with fairy lights - I couldn't help it ;))

[glitter wrapping paper, fairy lights, light tent, day light and additional lighting with a reading lamp ... and a bit playing around with Nik Collection (Analog Efex)]

The little reflections of the fairy lights on the glitter made me think of stardust when taking the photo ... no additional or artificial bokeh / sparkles - it's all natural :))

For those interested: the shell is 3.5 cm in diameter

HaPpY CrAzY Tuesday, erveryone !!

(I will be browsing properly late in the evening - due to work)

Verrückter Dienstag - Thema am 21. Juli 2020: Geringe Schärfentiefe

Ein weiteres Experiment mit Lichterketten - ich konnte nicht anders (sie waren noch im Lichtzelt vom Experiment der letzten Woche) ;))

[Glitter-Geschenkpapier, Lichterketten, Lichtzelt, Tageslicht und zusätzliche Beleuchtung mit einer Leselampe ... und ein bisschen Herumspielen mit Nik Collection (Analog Efex)]

Die kleinen Reflexionen der Lichterketten auf dem Glitterpapier ließen mich beim Fotografieren an Sternenstaub denken :))

Einen schönen Dienstag euch allen :)
