20110105 - Heads Again

Bit of a "time for bed, can't be bothered" job tonight. I had a bit of a domestic blitz and whilst doing it I managed to find £25.50 in various pockets. Coffee and cake for someone I think... :o)

As for last night's piccy - well it's pretty much as you see it. A row of screw-driver heads (no Mr. C, I'm not a cake icing guru!!!) lit diagonally by a blue and a yellow light. It's a bit odd though as it works in negative - the blue lines are created by the shadow from the yellow light and the yellow lines from the shadow from the blue light - very confusing when you're trying to balance out the light levels for the different opacities of the filters.
Once in the pooter, set the not-yellow-or blue bits as the white-point and there you have it. As it happens, the mix of yellow and blue gave a not-far-off white anyway, so it was pretty much as-shot. Took a lot longer to write this lot than it did to take the piccy!

Right - cakey and coffee...

Ooh - the not drinking coffee at work - not sure if it worked or not - still had a headache, but not nearly so bad as yesterday. Maybe what I really need is an eye test :o(((

What Neil said +1 - put all that spare stuff into a big jar, and whack a label on the outside: "For Pbase meet-ups only!"

Well you lost me with the processing , and I was with Mr C on the Icing. I think if I went through my pockets right now I'd have enough for a Coffee, thats the trouble with having a vigilant wife. "Can't be too careful she says" as she emptys the change from my pockets " Might end up in the washing machine" I like your point of focus on old Lizzy

Excellent shot, Phil...so no change there.

Gosh - I'm always lucky if I find a few lowly cents. Good shot in B&W.
