Challenge: Free Study XIV (Advanced Editing IV)
Camera: Canon EOS-10D
Lens: Sigma 15mm f/2.8 EX Diagonal Fisheye for Canon
Location: At home, New York City
Date: Oct 24, 2006
Aperture: f/9.5
ISO: 100
Shutter: 6s
Galleries: Abstract
Date Uploaded: Oct 28, 2006

This shot was taken with a blank DVD strapped to the front of my fisheye lens. The light was bent through the center hole in the disc, and this is what happened!

The source of the light is a blue LED on my external hard disk, going through a scratched-up glass prism.

Yes, I was bored!

Anyone else see a monkey face in it?

This doesnt really appeal to me, but I'm not a very big of abstract images in general.

This seems a fairly abstract shot to me. The blue tones are quite nice, but I am a little distracted by some of the pixelation in the shot...particularly on the lower right. The diamond shape of the prism really comes out nicely!

took a couple of attempts of looking at this from different angles until i figured out what was what here. a very interesting flare and a good sparkel from he main light point. i do feel however that it is slightly blown out though.
