The artifacts left over from PP distract me a little, but the colours and composition are very nice. -Kuivaamo

One can imagine the conversation going on between these creatures?

Good one Pops. ~ Regards Melbob

Your colorful "buds" are standing out in a crowd, Pops! Neat idea and very effective! shu

CJ - The ear buds in both pictures have never been used. I had to remove them from their wrappers to take the shots.

The only time I use earbuds is four times a week when I'm on the treadmill. Whenever I'm on the computer I have music playing and it's always through speakers.

Great shot Pops. Nice arrangement and the colors really pop! You've got that channel mixer down perfectly!-dtallakson

Hmmmmmmmmm - We seem to have a failure to communicate Pops! In your other earbud picture you said those earbuds had never been used. I took that to mean you didn't use them at all. Am I mistaken? My remark was in regard to the fact that many of the kids today turn up the volume too loud on their MP3 players and doctors are concerned. Even the "safe" earbuds can cause damage if listened to for too long a period of time. Because recent studies show that people crank up the sound depending on background noise, it's now recommended that noise canceling headphones be used. I guess all I'm saying is ...loud noise causes hearing loss! :-) CJ
PS: I really like your image - it's well composed, lit and PPed!

Wow, what a burst of color and great composition! Wide screen crop seems to add to this pic too. Very nice Pops! - angioman

I actually LOL'd. You're too cute, Pops. I can't wait until you and the Mrs (and extras?) come back in May! ~Lydia

CJ - "What???"

Love that channel mixer technique - this is so colorful! I don't use earbuds either Pops and I think the youth of today are probably losing their hearing because of them.! CJ
Guest 22-Feb-2009 23:52
Hmmm, what sound would eight ear buds make at the same time? I think cacophony!

Well, you certainly had me fooled... I thought you did somehow own a whole collection of coloured ipod buds! Nicely composed too.

The photograph had me thinking a bit in terms of what this would sound like... I mean suppose each set of earbuds were actually connected to its own ipod and one was listening to the outputs from about the camera position... I do not really know a good description for the sounds that earphones make when you hear them from a distance: tinny? metallic? Now imagine that same sound coming from four sets of earphones... my guess is that overall sound would simply be a weird garbled noise, not so? Regards Nico

Yes, Miss Lisa Marie, this is another example of me playing with the channel mixer. I do own a set of Red buds compliments of the Hop on Hop off bus in Copenhagen, Teal buds from AirTran Airlines, black bud from who knows where and, of course two sets of white iPod buds. This shot is a composite of two pictures of the iPod buds.

Lydia, the background is a black foam sheet purchased at a local craft store. I really like it but it does have a tendency to a lot of noise. I've cleaned it up some more.
Guest 21-Feb-2009 21:07
Nice colors, Pops! Is this another match tip treatment? Looks familiar.

Ok... ok... some spots were. *sigh* ~Lydia

Ikea Buds. :) Good shot, Pops. Very like you to have something so prettily colorful. I did get out my monitor cleaning cloth to clean my monitor... but the spots weren't on my monitor, I fear. ~Lydia
