*Transparent steel? by gk08

Thats an Ikea steel fork... And I have absolutely no idea how it came out that way (it hasn't been photoshopped). You can see the shadows it is casting on the knife but at the same time, it appears to be transparent and you can see the knife behind it :). Explanations anyone?

Also - Dunno why the EXIF data did not come through but taken with an 828 on Jan 2nd, 2004.


other sizes: small medium original auto

Shadow off plate is lamp up to the left, Shadow off right hand is flash firing, Light was nearly enough to do the job, fork moved, and flash fired to do the rest.

it's because the fork was moving during the the shot thus exposing the part where the knife was supposedly behind the fork :-)

Hmmm...X-ray vision maybe? Interesting shot. Melanie (mlynn)
