Pendulum Experiment

Pendulum experiment at Dynamicum, Pirmasens, Germany. This is a museum with many experiments on motion and science. Also on famous people from Pirmasens, such as the inventor of Pong, the first video game.

 

Nikon D700, Samyang 85mm f1.4 fully open, iso 560, 1/250th. Natural light.

 

Post Process: Increase of contrast and local contrast, doubled layers and blend with itself at 30% opacity. Downsize and smart sharpen as usual.

 

I am strangely attracted by the hint of the motion coming from the OOF areas - that and the crazy colors did it for me today. It only looks sharp at low resolution, there is too much negative space on the right, but still: I love this one.
