Ugh - back to being stuck indoors :o(

Yes - yesterday's 'Alien Spawn' was drinking straws, the 'bendy' sort, the focus was on the bendy bits part-way down.

Grain og truth? Perfect light.

Wonderful what a little pressure can do...this is GREAT...love the lighting and sense of motion you've got on the rice and it works so perfectly against the black background. - Racine V++

Superb toning and lighting ... also amazing imagination to take something so simple and make it art! ... V

Very nice lighting

Michael Shpuntov		13-Jan-2010 17:57
I agree with Barbara's comment, minus that your creativity is not bound to indoors only :-)

Kevin Chester		13-Jan-2010 17:45
Bahh that twice you have got me with the straws. Great idea for todays shot Phil

Very creative, this works so well! I wish I had some of your imagination!!

Barbara Heide		13-Jan-2010 14:02
i quite like when you get stuck indoors... providing such a creativity! v

so sad, they are all devoid of life. Odd thing about seeds. You pay 4$ to buy 12 seeds in a small envelope. Yet pay a tomatoe 0.40$ and have 20 seeds. ?
