Sinister 1

Cheltenham, Glos

Feeling slightly manic and dangerous today...only kidding! Tuesday 12th's entry to the May Challenge; click here for others going wide this month

I've been wanting to do this shot for a while, but keep forgetting to!! Inspired by the very beautiful Harold Budd track "Flowered Knife Shadows" (also know as "Memory Gongs" by The Cocteau Twins):

Nikon D300 ,Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM
1/80s f/11.0 at 10.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Great lighting all the way to the edge of the knife

Great lighting and atmosphere. Excellent choice in music. "V"

Blimey Doug!, that is sinister but also very appealing. And also may I compliment you on your choice of music - I love the Cocteau Twins (as you know), but only have this particular album on vinyl with no means to play it, so its great to hear it here!

The soft focus on the blade increases the sinister feel to this image.
