Default Psychedelic playtime

I was not ready to go to bed last night so at 2am, I went to the kitchen with a cd and put it on a bowl and placed it on the stove and turned on the light to the range hood and then just started shooting.....it was fun

DSC_9157

cd bubble 2

DSC_9120

This is a pain strainer for draining water out of cooking pasta or vegetables....I simply placed the stainer on an angle with the cd, so that the light would come through the holes and light up the cd surface

Wow, those are so cool! It's amazing that you pulled this off at 2 a.m. I love the colors and the water drops, they're amazing.

Did this once with a Spicegirls CD, not to photograph it, just to get rid of it.
Great set Patrick, I like them all especially the final one

What a beautiful set of photos. There is no way I could recreate anything as spectacular as yours. Insomnia is nothing I suffer from and I'm normally ready for bed by 9pm!
