Default Nunchucks
I used two sheets of cyan cardboard to create the "studio environment", and placed a lamp above and a bit to the right. The photo is shot with my 90mm prime, and a remote. Almost sad to say that it is one of my most "technical" shots to date...

Any C&C is more than welcome.



and as always: Larger version

Being a Martial Artist, and trained to use nunchaku, I find this photo very funny.

I need to get a set of those (I'm also a martial artist) and take to class some night.

I am not a martial artist, I am a smartass probably more than anything. But I to found that funny! Thanks for sharing!

From my parochial school existence many-many years ago, the good sisters would probably have loved a set of these to replace the trusty rulers they enjoyed using on us kids...

Exactly! I am also a pretty big smart-ass, originally chuckled and showed my kids that pic before reading all replies They thought it was funny and want a set to play with.

As for being wrong, I agree with rpcrowe...there is no way a Sister would have picked a ruler over these chucks! I bet my parents would have been ALOT more well behaved in Catholic school if they saw Sisters walkin at them swingin those! Love the idea, and its too funny.

Thanks for sharing

in terms of composition, I'm not crazy about how the box splits the nun on the right in half. Can you separate them slightly and perhaps give a little more light? Just my two cents love the nun-chucks though!
