Title: SLINKY BLUE
Nikon D750 Lens micro 105mm, ISO 320, 1/60, f14
Lightbox with blue light, tripod, macro rail
Lightroom Processed
Increased: exposure, white, texture, clarity
Decreased: contrast, saturation
Cropped to get rid of left bottom ridge
Focus is in limited area leaning to mid left and extend up a bit
I like playing with these abstract objects… or making object look abstract??? This could turn into a project…. I did different colors, did not play with different f-stops or turning coils different ways…yet.
To start everything was saturated in the blue light. The increase exp/white & decreased contrast/sat help sepate out the coils from background, so, I was able to mute the bkgd blue and start turning it almost white with blue tint [open to doing this at different levels blue/white]. I liked the fanning effect, so, kept it from right wide open to left tight. Focus limited even though f14. Texture and clarity help highlight the grooves a little better.
Title: original slinky blue
Unprocessed darker: ISO 320, 1/60, f14

Of course, I'm wondering "slinky blue what?". We don't need to know what a photo is of if it's abstract of course, but here I'm wondering pleated skirt, table napkin, a fan, coils of what? .....? Scope for lots of variations in light colour and direction.

How about trying again with slower shutter speed while adding light track(s) onto the subject's tracks? I am interested to know how this could be setup (with or without light box).. :-)   Posted: 05/08/2022 17:39:14

I think I watched that on a Nikon Youtube/Facebook channel presentation by one of their promotional professionals.. Quite amazing compositions. Don't worry.. just my wild thinking when I enjoyed your image.. :-)   Posted: 05/16/2022 18:15:30
