Continuing with cross polerisation technique from a few days ago, today a stapler is subject to the same treatment (placed infront of a monitor and a polorising filter on the lens).

Photo every day of the year - Feb 13th - Tape Cassette

Using the same technique as yesterdays image. The tape was placed in front of the computer monitor, which was displaying a pure white image, and a polorizing filter was placed on the camera lens.

The filter, if set to the right angle, blocks the light from the monitor but light which is refracted by the plastic makes it through.

Using a polorizing filter and a computer monitor as back light brings out the stress lines in plastic.

A twenty pence piece may look smooth, but under a macro lens the imperfections and scars of use are clear to see.

Still problems with network, awaiting a new router/hub so periodic uploads only. 

However, still taking a shot a day.

Today, again a water droplet on a cd.  Changing the angle of the lighting and flash create differing colour hues.

Photo every day of the year - Feb 3rd - Hot Drops

Today's shot is of water droplets on a cd.

Lit from above with purple light.

Used two lenses, one held backwards infront of the other to give a maco lens.  Focus area can be a bit tricky as can be very very small.

Photo every day of the year - Feb 2nd - Trapped Light

Still having internet problems, having to wait a new router to get back on line.  This means updates are being done on an ad-hoc basis, but still taking shots each day.
