Whats the shiny blackness made from?

Take the same photo but cropped to square and with something that causes a curve in the reflection. Show the entirety of the reflection.

Also to create a more interesting texture in the screws try sticking them in the freezer and then breathing on them to create a thin layer of water on them.

just ideas

the surface was a sheet of glass

Thanks Again!

the original, actually has the whole reflection, but right after were i cropped it, the glass was all scuffed/smugged, so i decided to just get rid of it...

what does the entire setup look like?

Hey, that's a pretty cool zippo. What's the surface treatment on it, something you did?

I always wanted one of the plain brass or copper zippos, and then paint it flat black or green, with no clear coat, so that as time went on, the paint would wear away for a really cool effect.

then shop out the dirty

with the photo you've presented it would be nearly effortless

it's a black velvet sheet going half up my bathroom mirror, and half across the counter. held up by masking tape. there's 4 columns of legos, holding up a thin sheet of glass. on the glass there is a thin film of water, to help reduce smudges/scuffs and help with providing the reflection. light was handheld. camera was on a tripod.

it's actually got a big huge zippo emblem on the other side. i was going to use it as stock, so i didn't shoot that side.

>>244068
the scuff caught the light, and was near the tips of the screws.. so it got really distorted. i guess i could copy the screws from the top and paste them on the bottom...

I was all prepared to tell you how boring these are, but the more I look at 'em, the more I like 'em.

Oh wow, someone as ghetto as I am.

Masking tape and lego, hardcore. Although I'm constantly surprised at how many people just have a sheet of (relatively clean) glass lying around, how did you get yours?

no you're right the first time, they are boring as fuck. even i think so

.>>245022
i found an old tacky, wooden, k-mart picture frame, in the garage.. the glass is a lot more fucked up than it looks... that's why i used a thin film of water, with a little bit of soap just to break surface tension. .

Boring subjects, yeah, but interesting pictures. I dunno, I just really like that shot of the screws. It's kinda zen. It's got the reflection, the high contrast, the swirls of the screw threads, all of the ever-so-slightly-different-length screws. I just dig it.
