Massimo, I don't think a brighter light box would produce greater contrast. Contrast here is determined by the proportion of the time the rotating spoon blocks the light, so the only non-PS way to increase contrast is to create a set-up that blocks the light a higher proportion of the time.<br /><br />I did not use a strobe light; my explanation for the appearance of the image is the same as yours: The intensity of the light fluctuates with the alternating current.Visual-Fieldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17208772350169926349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299397.post-1107979142587333252005-02-09T14:59:00.000-05:002005-02-09T14:59:00.000-05:00Just when I thought you couldn't come up with more original ways to photography cutlery... :)Simonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03869581534913450895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299397.post-1107884612661792862005-02-08T12:43:00.000-05:002005-02-08T12:43:00.000-05:00I enjoy your creative approach to photography, and will keep visiting.photographer52http://www.blogger.com/profile/00361481467908506528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299397.post-1107873161793051312005-02-08T09:32:00.000-05:002005-02-08T09:32:00.000-05:00Very interesting idea and choice of subject. I like especially the "vase" which is in fact two vases one inside the other, each one generated by one of the spoons. My only critique is maybe to try with a brighter light box to have more contrast, or using one of chiaroscuro colored papers to filter the light.<br /><br />Now the difficult question: one would expect to see a smooth shape as the spoons rotate. It however looks like (especially in the top image) the rotation is frozen in certain positions, as if you were using a stroboscopic light. Is that so, or maybe this is the modulation of the regular bulb in the light box due to the 50Hz phase in the power grid?Massimohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03490199578444532559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299397.post-1107863720643518382005-02-08T06:55:00.000-05:002005-02-08T06:55:00.000-05:00Cool idea, and well executed<br />- pierre from hotpixel.chAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299397.post-1107859851408617252005-02-08T05:50:00.000-05:002005-02-08T05:50:00.000-05:00I love the kinetic spoon.
