 RAID - Redundant Array of Independent/Inexpensive Disks

Again, just needed something for the WPL, and was running out of time.

Placed CD's in a spiral on black construction paper. Lit from window, and two lamps on either side, and a candle (ran out of desk lamps) with light reflected off of a CD taped to a box. That gave me lots of lines of light reflecting on the CD's. Had a hard time getting the focus right, so I shot it 3 times on manual focus so I could pick the best.

Editing.. crop/resize, shadow layer to soft light, layer of white/black paint set to soft light and heavy gaussian blur, hue/sat layer to bump colors, flattened, added border.
