12th April - Spring by pamknowler

12th April - Spring

Topic of the Day - Spring 102/365

They used to call these Slinkies I think but the girl in the shop looked at me blankly and then said "Oh you mean a Springy" - so even better for todays topic!! Its about the only "Springy" thing going on here!! LOL!!

How wonderful this is on PP on 13th April!! Thank you so much to everyone for your great comments and Favs!! I appreciate your support so much!! Still there on the 14th - WOW - two shots on there at the same time!!
Definately a slinky in my day. Lovely clear capture, makes me feel like finding ours and making it go downstairs.

Great composition and the reflection is lovely!
April 12th, 2013  
Haha! I would've said slinky too! Was gonna use a rainbow coloured plastic one but couldn't quite get the shot I wanted :/ love this against the black - what did you use as a backdrop if you don't mind me asking?
April 12th, 2013  
Fantastic shot of a this Springy :-) lovely idea and beautiful exposure. Fav!

@lucypics @yonnie @jodimuli @kittikat @darrenboyj Many thanks everyone for your wonderful comments - always very much appreciated!!
@jodimuli Thanks for the Fav Joey!!
@darrenboyj Darren the Slinky is on my black perspex board which gives a great reflection - better than a mirror where you can get ghosting. it is against the wall and I have put black card on the wall. In LR I then use the black slider to get a really good black. I took it into PS to get rid of any dust which is on the black board - it always needs cleaning up to look good.

It's still a Slinky!! Shame on her! :-) Though they are plastic now. This one is really cool. Love the reflections.

@danette I am so pleased I was right with the name!! LOL!! Thanks Danette for your lovely comments!! This slinky is actually brassy coloured metal and feels lovely. I also bought a tiny one which is silver metal and a rainbow coloured large plastic one. It was a day for buying Slinkies!! I will be playing with them and hopefully using them in future shots!!

Yes I know it as a Slinky too. "Spring has sprung" in this shot, though! This is beautiful - looks almost abstract like a cross between a fractal and a hologram. Perfectly done.
