The Weapon *

More Lensbaby!

Although I personally prefer the other shot, what I liked about this one is the grain in the floor and its contrast to the grain in the handle. I also liked the motion that the blur of the blade implied, as if this weapon is in control of itself - moving, almost thrashing, even though there is no hand controling it. Makes one wonder if the knife itself was responsible for the crime, taking hold of the "murderer" against his own will, to do its own evil. Now THAT'S a pretty scary thought!

No, I didn't have much time to play around with it. I only got the idea for the shoot 10 minutes before I had to leave to get the kids from school, so this was a real quickie shoot. I was happy I got what I got. Sounds like a good idea though. ~ Lonnit

Like the wooden texture of this one but i prefer your red shot. Do you have a version with the tip of the blade in focus with the tip pointing against the viewer (downwards)? That would probably feel rather threatening... /Jonas
