Insomniac Photography

[karohemd]

I was in a weird mood last night, too bored to watch TV/DVDs or read so I unpacked the SB-900 speedlight I'd bought earlier in the week and mucked around a bit, first with the washing machine and then with myself. These were the two best results, both taken with the Sigma 12-24mm and SB-900 at full power remotely fired via CLS trigger, handheld.

 




This was partially inspired by Mr Flibble (check out his photostream, he's awesome). I don't think I'd have thought of photographing the inside of a washing machine otherwise.

That's quite scary! You look like you should be telling a ghost story around a camp fire...

Hehe, that was sort of the idea. :D

You have a particularly cool washing machine. I feel the urge to listen to some more Frontline Assembly now... ;)

Really? I think it's rather boring. I want one of those funky counter-rotating Dyson ones. ;o)
However, what I discovered is that the struts aren't evenly spaced and they don't seem to be in other washing machines, either.

Probably not assembled by proper artists. Very pretty though ;)

There might actually be a practical reason for this, possibly for a better random distribution of the contents during operation.

[christhegoth.livejournal.com]

Quite possibly. But that's an engineer, not an artist, thinking ;)

"Evil Ozzie and the terror of his mechanical claw": Soon coming to a cinema near you. ;-)

That's quite awesome, my good sir.

Hehe, cheers!
It's still Ozzy, though.
