sunlight shining on a plastic model I assembled decades ago...trying to decide what to do with it....
Macro Mondays 'silhouette' theme.
I really enjoyed this theme, so much so that I ended up with several shots I liked and had to make a decision which one to submit. This one is a small plastic model of a GSD with moveable head, legs and tail - it measures 6.5 cm from nose to tail tip so I hope the photo just squeezes in for the MM requirements. His 'ball' is a tiny silver dragee.
I placed the model and his ball on a blue box in a light tent, with a blue backdrop. A sb900 speedlight was fired, through a softbox and also through the back of the tent (which further diffused the light) at 1/8 power.
These bins, as binoculars are popularly known among birders, are focused on an American Goldfinch--not a real bird, of course, but a realistic plastic model.
The etymology of bins:
