Bolts from the Blue

[Stan]

I needed some coachbolts for a project I am making for camera club and got a job lot of 100 but only needed a dozen of them so thought they would make a good photo subject. Shot in a blackened portable studio with a single bounced flash with blue gel

Re: Bolts from the Blue

thats a really interesting shot Stan - personally I would have cropped the bottom so all the bolts showed just the thread rather than the bottom bolt - well done

I was thinking something like this - but with your border

Re: Bolts from the Blue

although saying that looking at yours and mine I can't make mind up now

Re: Bolts from the Blue

I think that works as well as it concentrates on the "coach" part of the bolt and the blue although it loses the two nuts on each thread in the different positions, which was part of my idea for the shot. Having said that, it didn't quite work out as I had invisaged

Re: Bolts from the Blue

clearly you ran out of nutts .....feeding too many reds

Re: Bolts from the Blue

Like the construction of the image - the blue gel adds to the metallic feel the bolts would give anyway

Thanks David

that would explain why I have had to order more

Think I prefer the original image. Cool.

Mind you, it's not one for framing and putting on the wall IMHO..........would give wall space to one of your birds or animals though!

Re: Bolts from the Blue

Nice idea Stan and well shot with the blue gel. Personally I would have lost all of the nuts and cropped to the top section so to show the head and a part of the shank.

Re: Bolts from the Blue

Cheers Alan

There are a few alternative ways of shooting, I may just shoot overhead next time to show just the heads
