Curves Of Light

I Tried another experiment off my "to try' list today. I call them Curves of Light ..kinda abstracty but i like them. it is water drops on a cd, and i saw them posted in this forum previously and decided to try my hand at it.
Taken with Canon 50mm 1.8 lens @ f/11 1/80 ss ISO 200
Light source was from overcast natural light through window and a floor lamp with about 25 watts globe directed at the cd.

I like the angle of the first shot but not the crop. I think the cd hole and disc edges steal a bit of attention from the subject. Great colors!

Great Shots!

very effective in catching the eye

Nic, Well done! I like the reflection in the drops on #2, all three are very appealing.

2 & 3 are very nice!

Very interesting photos. There are many circles within circles. I think the barcodes near the CD center add contrast to the circles. I could hang one of these on my wall, particularly #2. Nice job.

All three are absolutely superb, but I can't decide between #1 and #2 as to which is my favourite.

This is probably the cleanes CD I ever have seen. I like the third one for the colors in the drops and the way the light throws "flames" of color. Also the crop/composition is very fine there. I'd eventually dim the inner bright ring a bit? Well done classic shot.

cheers

Very nice and clean shots!

Habakuk brings up a great point about dimming the inner ring. Perhaps a cheap homemade set of barn doors could work?

I like the first and 2nd. In both they look like glass beads, and I like how there are the rainbow dots of concentrated light in each water drop in the second photo. Makes it interesting IMO.

I like the first two the best.

Thankyou so much everybody for your kind comments.

About the suggestion of using barn doors.... i actually only used natural window light and a small 40 wt lamp directed at the cd for this.. nothing special at all.. so maybe further post work will be done on the inner circles.. i kinda like them but i lknow not everybody will

Thanks again
Nic

lovely Nic! I did a series of these last summer also with window light. I think sunlight makes the best effect. You've done a great job of capturing the colors as well as the (well placed) droplets.
