PCB

[Stan]

Well the idea was to take an old DVD player or similar, remove the pcb and shoot it as a mini cityscape/industrial. I am not too sure if it has worked but post it to see what you think. I originally tried with flash but that just gave horrible shadows so this is just with natural light and a long exposure of 20sec, f20, ISO 200, 40mm pancake lens

Must admit, it's a first for me :) Lots of folk use those little figures of workmen on PCB's to simulate them doing jobs. You also have a macro lens. It might cure the rainy day boredom :)

Re: PCB

It works for me Stan, I would be tempted to crop the right hand edge so that the aluminium plates actually run into the edge rather than ending short as I find the far right hand component with the bright bits too eye catching, I would probably also slightly tone down the bright rectangular components on the far left just to hold the eye more into the middle of the image.

Re: PCB

Like the idea of this. :-) This could just be me. But I think you need more than one board so you can make it look like the city is going off into the hotizon.

makes sense

it was quite a big board and I could possibly have made it look deeper by shooting a different angle. The shot is in fact two boards but on top of one another - this is the smaller board on its own

Re: PCB

For me Stan the edited version of #1 is the best version but of the 3 images posted I think I actually prefer the single board, how about making the bottom below the board black or very dark grey rather than blue to give it a proper base

Re: PCB

I prefer it with the dark grey Stan

Re: PCB

You've got to admit, they do look very modern city like.
