Hotel Room

Wait a cotton picken minute, what have we ear..

I am really pleased with the outcome here. It took some thinking / experimenting
to achieve a raking light accross these cotton buds to emphasis the fibres.

One black card, two hotel cotton buds and one flash gun.
One cam , one 100mm macro lens and one hotel maid to hold the flash for me..

Which reminds me of the story of the Goblin Teas Maid…… unfortunately it’s still before the water shed :-)

1/200s @ f13, ISO 125 full exif

A Goblin Teas Maid - I'm leaving that one alone!!!
Converted to black and white to hide the fact they were used?
Cool shot.

Amazing the ends you go to for some of your shots. This one is very well done.

Superb shot. Excellent lighting and detail. Very well done.
And I can't believe how often you can get the hotel maids to help you with your shots! *grin*
