I do not have a fedora to tip so I'll simply stand on my chair and applaud. -Michael

Well it sure looks a lot like my drill bits after I push them too hard and break of the tip....... I was even going to go as far as saying that it had a factory split point on the tip. Paul ;(

After shooting this I did think about doing it again with a drill bit!

Thanks,

Here's the details on this shot:

The object is a stainless steel spoon with a twisted handle from a bartenders set (sorry, Paul). The light source was a single Mini Maglite. Four IKEA vases were lined up on each side and the light was beamed through the vases with a white card on the far side. Exposure was about 20 seconds from one side and 10 from the other. There was very little direct light from the Mini Maglite to the spoon. In post processing the aspect ratio of the spoon was changed drastically.
