This time the choice was between ‘comb’ and ‘rug’. I decided to go for ‘comb’ as I remembered we had a weird pink pet comb that Mr Pixel, our cat, wouldn’t mind me using. Also, we don’t have a rug.
Total shot count for this challenge was 46; a lot less than I usually take.
Here is the comb.
Here is the same comb with a black background.
Yet another with a different background.
Here’s a close up of Mr Pixel’s loose hair remover and the common design that is ‘comb’.
Although hard to detect in the photos, I noticed as I was taking them, that the comb was a bit grubby, so I gave it a wash.
This process lead to some other ideas . . . the classic close-up water shots.
Using a cardboard box to hold the comb, I experimented with back-lighting.
Then I tweaked it a bit.
Interestingly enough, I sometimes use my phone to snap ideas for shots. This helps to see if there’s a chance of things working. In this particular case I think the phone did remarkably well - probably the best so far (the other phone shots weren’t as good unfortunately).
Overall Mr Pixel’s Pink Comb was a fun challenge . . . I think the advantage being it wasn’t a stapler (see previous post).
My choice, if I had to pick one, and I will, is this final shot. It probably wouldn’t be the favourite for most but for some reason I was more drawn to it.
