Default Inside - Out

I was cleaning my Computer... took out the CPU , heat-sink, etc to wipe off the dirt. After the cleaning, I had placed my CPU on top of the heat-sink. This presented a wonderful photographic opportunity, specially with the fins of the heat-sink giving it a DOF. Comments on this 'experimental' shot ....



I love the pins of the CPU which look like pillars in a mega-city and the small brown transistors which look like alien vehicles

Very cool, great colour and perspective... what a great shot. If you get to experiment again, taking the shot looking square on to the edge of the heatsink fins so that they appear level will give the scene more symmetry, which IMO is what would look best here.

Hey!, My PC's overude for a dust of, I might try this myself..

The assignment for next week is "Good use of DOF", you should enter this. The Depth of field is great on the fins and the CPU. Nice job.
