A flat-lit "first draft" to see what it looks like (everything inside a ping-pong ball diffuser). A work in progress, local accent light being constructed now, but happy with this as first go (50x Mitty at 33x onto APS-C).
Dead easy and fast to construct on my latest setup too, just 30 mins! But that's a conversation for another thread. Later...
Silicon, meet silica

Reminds me of an Alien Code message that we can not yet read.
I do find that the background distracts a little, the I go back to it and seems appropriate for the subjects.
What i am saying is nice shots, lighting could do with more work, overall i like it.

Silica
Interesting image, Beatsy. Haven't seen you for a while. Isn't it interesting that we carbon-based life forms coexist with silica (glass) based life forms. What a planet.

Rumbled! Haha. A cityscape is the next iteration. A few chip tracks as streets, stacked up diatoms, radiolaria etc as "buildings" lining those streets, then a low angle, deep stack with a skylike background. Should look the biz. Different at least - and so gloriously, utterly pointless, it just MUST be done!abpho wrote:I love that look. The movie Metropolis comes to mind with those colours. Thank you.
But constructing tall stacks of centric diatoms is proving tricky (as expected). Main issue being securing the forms - but I'm on it. I think.
