Hello folks, I was experimenting last night, and just wondering youre opinion. This is a Quartz cluster atop a flashlight, with the camera mounted to a tripod. I dont think Im finished yet, I was thinking of stuff like: #25 red filter on flashlight, using a peanut slave and putting a flash unit under the crystal, spraying it with a water bottle and/or shining a pointing laser through the crystal, while using the flashlight.

Anyway this is just one out of several, with a little dodge/burn in PS, and loss of detail due to compression. The batteries died in the flashlight so Ill try more over the next few days.

Any ideas for this concept?

Your ideas sound great, can't wait to see the results.

Put a laser through it! They all sound good ideas

Good ideas! What about putting multicolored translucent material (like cellophane) over a stronger light source? :-) it might not work, but hey... I wouldn't know that! LOL (shaggadelic, baby!) (*

Thanks,

And, starshuffler, you got me thinking again, how to do a multi-color effect? Will not work to paint with dye on a clear sheet of acetate, how do it? Well what if I got a small bag of those multicolored beads, spread those across the top of the light hum...

{quinn wanders off, mumbling to self, and scratching head}

Cool!!! Multicolored beads

LOL... I was thinking maybe you could look for translucent candy wrappers that you could tape together and stick over your light source (not too hot, though, they can melt) to beam through these crystals. I'm not sure if I'm making sense here... maybe some sleep could help... LOL (*

Will be an interesting experiment to see......

Neat one, and like others, I'm waiting to see the results too. .n
