When I'm short on ideas and time I think I'll turn to mundane kitchen items. A pair of whisks provided me with my subject tonight. I wish I had not been lazy and tried them on a white background as well but after putting the black fabric back up in the lightbox last night I didn't feel like taking it down. Not a hard process but like I said...I was being lazy.
The light spots are from the light going through the little holes in the round disk. This was shot at 50mm, f/1.8, ISO 100, 3.2 seconds using just a small amount of light from one of my small work lights. The work lights have a few small holes near the base that a small amount of light comes out of...when I need a small circle of light I use those.

I think for a photo that you were not feeling that inspired on, this one is fantastic. It's amazing what how a little kitchen gadget can become art so easily (in your hands)!

Very inspiring. I wish I had the time, and your patience, to set up shots like this. I'm working pretty much hand-held because most of the time I'm too lazy to set my camera up on the tripod, let alone experiment much with lighting.
Who ever said 'lazy' doesn't pay off! ;-) I like this shot a lot.
great shot. love the depth of focus.
