#MacroMondays

#Pastel

 

This is one of those crazy purchases I solely made for photography and Macro Mondays – because when I recently bought this item, I already knew that I will never use it for its designated purpose which is: brushing teeth. Recently at the pharmacy, I saw Swiss Made Limited Edition "Curaprox" toothbrushes (very cleverly placed on the counter), each nicer than the other, and I immediately knew that I wanted to buy one of the differently-coloured two-part sets for a future MM theme. I picked a set called the "80's Edition" which, according to the manufacturer, is supposed to give you 80s vibes while brushing your teeth. For the above-mentioned reason I will sure miss out on having 80s flashbacks during my dental care routine, but honestly, I'm not sure if I even wanted to have them in the first place. Plus, this set of elegantly shaped brushes with multi-colour bristles also reminds me more of the 1950s. But then the 50s were very popular in the 80s, weren't they?

 

But enough of the 80s. In the set were a black and a baby pink toothbrush. The bristles of the pink brush are almost all pastel-coloured (mint, light blue, yellow, Barbie pink, baby pink), but unfortunately, there are also a few black bristles that actually look really nice among the pastel colours but obviously don't work for the theme. So I had to photograph the toothbrush so that the black bristles were "invisible". The easiest way to do so was to photograph the top of the toothbrush's head because in that position, the black bristles are hidden by yellow and pink ones. I also left the clear/translucent cap on the brush, because it has a hole shaped like the Swiss cross which I thought looked interesting.

 

The setup was very simple this time: toothbrush on a small glass jar, camera right in front of it, white foam sheet behind the scene, natural light from the windows. The camera's exposure mode was set to "Hi" (highlight) priority, and it's a single shot. Processed in DXO PhotoLab 6 and Color Efex.

 

HMM, Everyone, and keep brushing!

Thanks for your visits, faves and comments! Thank you Flickr on explore, I appreciate it very much!

I went through a few iterations before coming up with the final concept for this theme!

I imagine the agora of capitalism, with its temple of consumption. All principles are sacrificed to the golden calf of buying and selling.

#Brush

 

One last, desperate attempt at getting at least a decent image for our "Brush" theme (after spending half of the afternoon trying to make a tiny brush, made for small bottles with thin necks, look like a Christmas tree).

 

I've photographed this toothbrush (exclusively bought for macro photography) once before in high-key for a past "Pastel" theme (please see the first comment). And if that was the "A Night At The Opera" version, this low-key attempt is the "A Day At The Races" variant. Or so.

 

To get extra close, I mounted the Laowa 50mm 2x macro lens, which also means it's a single shot. Illuminated mostly from above with my natural light photo lamp and, stupidly, also from the right with one of the LED lamps, which explains the slight colour change on the right because that lamp casts a more yellowish light. But I didn't want to take yet another photo. I left the protection cap on the brush because I thought it added "something" to the scene.

 

Since from this POV, the toothbrush's handle was in the way, I glued it onto the table tripod's head (with modelling clay) to get a little more stability (and stabilised the brush's head with my hand). I pointed the camera slightly down to get a good view of the colourful bristles. That's it.

 

HMM, Everyone!
