day 163 - scuffed plexi



i had this idea that i should get a piece of plexiglass and scuff up the edges of it, then shoot through it using the scuffed areas as a sort of a frame for the subject. so that's what i did. this is a three dollar piece of plexiglass from home depot, used the dremel on it a bit, set it up like i would normally, and here's the result.

i'm happy with how it came out for a first attempt.... i experimented with using the colorsplash flash to illuminate it different colors..... there were some interesting results, some good some bad in there. i think next i'm going to try and get it dirty, maybe work some mud and dirt from outside into the outer edges. see how that goes. maybe sandpaper it a bit.

anyways. i like this effect... it's like something most people would do in photoshop, done here in camera. and it looks a lot cooler than what most people do in photoshop.
