 What does this look like to you?

Rough day today, so no time to set up anything complex or go somewhere to shoot. This was the first thing that caught my eye. I liked the textures.

Lighting: Slave flash about 120 degrees right off the camera axis, slightly higher than camera. Piece of cardboard taped to left side of flash to stop lens flare. Back lighting to bring out the form of the "little holes".

Post processing: Processed from RAW. Similar approach to yesterday. Object was black, simply desaturation to remove any slight colour cast. A bit of curves to adjust contrast. Then the usual.

Oh Wow! This has stunning visual impact. Lighting, tones, and contrast are wonderful and very dynamic! Love how the holes from this kitchen grater (at least that is what it looks like to me - I'm not sure if it is) just emerge from the darkness of the black background. An excellent B&W study on the textures of this object - the B&W format really calls our attention to it not to mention the tones & contrasts are really dynamic in this composition.

I'm not sure what it is, but I like it! The sweeping curve and the dot-dots of light on the top of it are very nice.

Very cool abstract! I think it might be a speaker? I love how the light catches on the holes.

A cheese grater? A speaker? Very well done. The DOF is awesome here. The curve really makes this photo...
