Sands of Time (Fleetwood Mac)

My get pushed was a colour on colour or white on white so I imagined an interesting a black on black using my magnetic iron filings timer.

We set my by flat pack studio in the garage moved crap and stuff out of the way and set to work.

Oh my!! Lighting it was hard, focussing it harder and I'm sure if I had that silverfx & lightroom stuff I could have made it look like just the ones on the tutorials of black on black I watched (but they, very sensibly, were not using glass!) Also I couldn't work out why there was a patch of red in it- oh my paddleboard was joining in!!

Any way I editted this this using my very skillful Windows 10 slider thingies and cropped out all the very bright reflections from my diffused lights You MIGHT find if more effective on black, I haven't checked that out yet.

Thank you to Him for help in being my gofer and rigger/ best boy key grip and making sure I didn't trip over things in the gloom.

Uploading for get pushed, Ross' weekly theme-close and song title so its a threefer!!

Who said 'Rain before 7 gone by 11'!!?? They lied- but the grass is already showing shoots of green!

@salza sort of turned out how I thought, not as pretty as the yellow on though!

[Diana]

Amazing on black, it really gleams. That sees like you had quite a mission getting this great image.

[John Sutton]

Really like this and well done (to both of you) for all the work you put in to achieve this 🙂

[Sally Ings]

This is really cool. Quite mystical.

[Babs]

Love it, I did a similar shot a while ago, took ages to get the focus right. A huge fav.

[amyK]

Nice details showing when viewed on black. Have tried white on white but not this...looks challenging! Nicely done.

[Dawn]

Wonderful detail well done

[JackieR]

@Dawn many thanks
@amyk this was not quite as frustrating
@onewing no photo is truly original then!!
@salza thanks Sally, enjoyed the challenge and love your compositions for levitation
@johnsutton passed on your praise to Him X
@ludwigsdiana enjoyed it, I do set my self difficulties

[Rob Z]

So super cool Jackie! That windows 10 thing is where the fun 3D edits hide - rain, butterflies etc - with noise!! I'm sure you probably already knew this but I was very excited when I saw it on my new laptop....

[JackieR]

@robz never clicked that button, may go explore it mow

A beautiful picture to match the song title.
