Dear Magic 4 ball, will Santa bring me something ?

(viewed 1552 times)

I have been such a nice boy in 2011.

And you guys, what do you see ?

I offer a cocktail to Hildegard before Xmas, if anyone finds out how this picture was taken. :)

(No photoshop at all)

Just my iPhone with the "Fantastic 4" (for December 4th) logo at the bottom of a pedal bin like that (http://www.brabantia.com/Flash/#/page/21/155/en/).

No flash, no light in the kitchen.

Looks like a lot of things. :)

wondering what triggered the idea :)

Chenav says:

Ah ah ah

Actually, I tried to get inspired by the number 4 (for the fourth of December).

As I am mentally deranged, I tried to find something stupid.
"Four" in French, means "oven". So, I decided to find something to shoot in the kitchen, and the kitchen only.
I tried to shoot in the oven, but, I don't have a fish-eye (yet).
It was impossible to do what I imagined.

After some thinking (imagine me in my kitchen, looking at everything with "4" in mind), I noticed the aluminum on my bin. Then I "saw" the image, and I tried to do it.

I start from "four" ="oven" to "shoot something in the kitchen", then I finished with the iphone in the bin in the dark.

I know, I am a disturbed boy.

You'll see Waxou's image tomorrow. As everything he shoots, it is boring. You are warned. :p

Haha, cool. I thought maybe it was a contact lens over a number or something.

Good idea to bring the numbers into the calendar - weirdly never thought of that!

I was thinking maybe an eye, but would never have guessed the truth. Hope Hildegard still got her cocktail :)

I would never have guessed, but I like the idea and how it turned out.
