Curls*

My favorite from the paper abstract photos of that day's shoot.

Lighting details: in a plain regular heavy plastic milk crate (could use a cardboard box, which I actually didnt have handy but a 100w light does heat up so then safety concerns do come to mind), put a clamp lamp inside pointing up then a piece of frosted glass on top (borrowed from a shelf). In the end , it's like using a softbox as a setup table and arranging the pieces right on it. So in turn the end result should be that the soft light is illuminating the objects from below.

PS: saturation boost, changed hue to get the blue color, levels/curves for contrast, rotated counter clockwise, cropped, resize, noise reduction, sharpened.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts everyone.

Mark, you're the master of negative art images. I know what you mean though this one isn't a negative it sure does look interesting when converted to one. I've tried :)

It does create a nice effect but it sort of doesn't look like a photo does it:-)
