Inside the Dryer – P365 Mar12
A fisheye photo of the inside of our clothes dryer.
Both the camera and the flash were held just inside the door. The flash was below the camera in the blind spot for the lens caused by the cropped sensor. The head was angled down to shoot at the (camera) bottom of the dryer. This made all the light bounce around nicely and minimising the hotspot reflection.
I love the science-ficion look to the photo. This is enhanced by the exaggerated saturation of the colours, which came out of the camera subdued, but I enhanced because I liked the look.
This is part of a series of unusual fisheye perspectives of ordinary objects. Here are the others from the series:
The mailbox.
The oven.
The washing machine.
Behind the steering wheel.
The dishwasher.
The fridge.
The microwave.
I am loving your fish-eye series of shots! The steely blue colours in this one makes it particularly reminiscent of the Doctor Who cybermen.
Great thought-of locations…
Anthea, thanks, glad you’re enjoying it! I have a couple of friends who are big Dr Who fans who appreciated your comment :)
R Kneschke, I try to keep my eye open for unusual perspectives that would look interesting by fisheye, let me know if you think of any!
