the prismatic effect....

[peeperita]

just cd's......










this was another fun way to toss away a sunday afternoon.....

stacked and restacked cds under a large bank of flourescents in the kitchen.....exposed for the brighter reflections and, in some images, added a little led light from the left....post work was limited to crop and cloning out dust.....

Hi peeper ... things you can do with cd/dvds ... love the multicolored reflections .. very creative

[pjflan7]

I don't suppose I ever thought of that......but that would be a fun activity......wonder what it would look like with a mirrored disco ball lighting it up....I'l never know as I don't have one!

Pretty neat, Peeperita.

This is a very creative idea... awesome outcome too.
Not a bad way indeed to spend a Sunday afternoon

Hi Peeper
I agree with Jake. What makes these extra special is the superb composition of each shot. As always, very well thought out.

it's not as creative as you think, there's scores of images of cd's out there......i had seen a few some time ago and this lazy afternoon was spent exploring....

thank you, that's what grabbed my attention right off the bat, i didn't feel like a big staged production and the light in my kitchen suited me fine....

thank you for that.....i had fun with the different stacking.......on the first shot, i had guessed the exposure to my satisfaction and the post work was nothing.......so, toying with the pile of cd's was all that was left to me.....
