Extreme, since as a mirror I used a pinhead. Actually three of them. Full frame.

Comments as always welcome :)

Once again very interesting and creative Krystian. I'm beginning to think your genius is bordering on the insane :lol:
I like the way you have set the pins (left to right) so that the image on each head becomes clearer as you move toward the right. I think you smooth backgroound tone nicely complements the pin head colour.
This is certainly the cover shot for the sequel to 'eyes wide shut' - 'pins up tight' :lol:
Keep those creative juices flowing my friend. :wink:
cheers

Outstanding! now all we need to know is how many angels fit on the head of a pin :D

Nice concept shot.

Almost Edvard Munch in the centre, Krystian, but very 8)

Thanks guys for comments! :)

Marcotrov, I hope I am still on the right side. But then, what side is what? hehe :)

Dug, no worries. I will take care and make some research in this matter. Talking about micro, I am heading there, but not now. First must to count all angels :)

Dargan, propably colour and texture comes close to Edvard Munch's painting :)

Sirhc55, I intentionally did so silly expresion. A bit of fun is always good :)

Thanks again,

K.Polak

Very clever Krystian, my wife was grossed out at first as she thought they were eyeballs but when I explained they were pin heads, she was very impressed.
Would be interesting to see if you could re-create this but without the camera in the reflections ??? Is it possible, if so are you up for the challenge ?

Who would have thought of doing a self portrait in the reflection of a pinhead :shock:

Amazing, Amazing.

Mic. :wink:

Alpha_7, sorry for frightening your wife. Glad that she is strong enough :)

Very difficult, very difficult without proper, expensive gear. But I will take a think about that.


Mic, thanks. That is a great word from macro master as you :)
