Unusual-but fun!! (Thanks to ClarinetJDW)

[MommyOf4Boys]

I was interested in getting the black background naturally, without the help of PS, so I spoke with ClarinetJDW who had a couple of awsome photos that had very natural black backgrounds and got his advice. Sooo, this is my first attempt. It is an unusual object, but I had a lot of fun with it. I actually pulled it out of my potpourri bowl LMAO!
Thanks Clarinet-for your help. I am sure I will be seeking your advice more in the future, for you are an inspiration!

Not the best subject, but was handy at midnight :lmao:

Now I am curious.. what exactly did you do for the background?

Good sharp focus on this!

looks like DNA

I thought the same thing, as I was just reading about deoxyribonucleic acid (and learning how to spell it)! (Nothing like quoting a person who posted after you eh? )

cool, looks like DNA...
I love it!

As Clarinet instructed..I taped it to my glass back door (at night), turned off all of the lights ( I did keep one on behind me so that I could see what I was focusing on LOL) Then took it to PS and took out very few blemishes.

I was just reading about deoxyribonucleic acid...

lol, now i just call it deox, we're intimates... Biology, eh? I chose the bio option class by my own good will... challenging my ass off... but i love it.

Nice technique, Mommy!

:thumbup: That was fast!

Did a good job on the background, too. It looks very natural.

Thanks JWD!! :hail: I couldnt find anything laying around the living room except for a pacifier that struck my interest to just tape to the window, then i dug through the potpourri bowl and whala! LOL

Coincidence- I made that discovery last night shooting pictures of the fence with my flash on. All I got when I looked at them was a really good picture of the fence, and no background whatsoever... Cool!

 

[fightheheathens]

a black cloth often also works good. if say you wana do that in the day

 

[Lensmeister]

cool shot .... basket weaved DNA .... kidding ...

I liked this one ... the background is totally black and it draws your eyes to the main subject.
