Macro: Toothpicks

Another macro photograph, this time of some wooden toothpicks. This was shot with chrome. Huh? Chrome!! Oh.. This was actually really easy to light, I just used a speedotron, pointing it downward onto the scene. The ratio is around 2.85:1, or 2.85 magnification.

The above image was shot for large-format portfolio. This was a macro set-up of colored toothpicks stuck in some Styrofoam. The light source was a Farrell light with some minor fill (too small of an object to noticeably accent). I Flügged a lot to show major distortion and fall-off.
