Taking a rest after few hours of work today... so grabbed the camera and looked around to see what I can find, I found these stuffs:

Guess what are they? :P

Did I overdo the PP? I just feel they need a tad dynamic effect than the boring look out of camera...

Bit of welding slag no doubt. Great colourisation. Makes it look a bit like the Terminator 2.

Looks a bit like balls of mercury, but I guess no one plays with that stuff anymore. It could be welding spatter, from a mig welder, but it's hard to tell the scale. The small liquid drops, make the balls look a bit big for spatter. Now who could ever resist looking, after that subject line.

Bingo :P They were tin/lead balls formed by melting a 0.7mm solder.

The actual 'scale' is bit hard to guess, those metal balls are actually about 1-2mm in diameter. The 'liquid' drops around those balls can't be seem by eye until you get this close, heheh

Taken with a reversed 50mm (~1:1 scale) and reversed 35mm (~1.5:1 scale). I should try with a reserved 28mm, so they may look even larger :lol:
