Photon Offline Buy and Sell: On p.1 #1 · #308 antique aerobics Indian clubs for exercise. These clubs are about a century old. They were used by groups of people swinging them in unison, usually led by an instructor. Presumably, each person would use a matched pair, as a juggler would. I liked the visual interest of this unmatched set, besides which this is what we happen to have! Sep 01, 2008 at 09:21 PM

Is that their natural color? -Mike I warmed it slightly in the raw conversion: the white balance is set about 200 Kelvin higher than the actual light source (studio flash) measured, and I increased the saturation a bit. To me it gives pretty much the effective appearance under household tungsten lighting (which is to say, not nearly as warm as a daylight WB or daylight film would render if shot with tungsten lights). These clubs are old, but their color is quite rich. There's a lot of red. Edited on Sep 02, 2008 at 12:37 AM Sep 02, 2008 at 12:36 AM

Thanks much, Mike! I took a few stabs at antique furniture, and also tried a "tableau" (can't think of a less fancy word) of a bunch of smaller items, but I wasn't happy and decided to concentrate on something simpler.

Steve Spencer Offline Image Upload: On p.1 #6 · #308 antique aerobics Hi Jess, I like the warm wood tones and the angle of the clubs. A very nice entry. Good luck this week. Steve S. Sep 02, 2008 at 11:15 PM

Bill Sutherland Offline Image Upload: On p.1 #8 · #308 antique aerobics I think these were called Indian (as in Asian) clubs but I could be wrong. An old teacher of mine was still using these back in the fifties. Nicely produced and processed. Sep 03, 2008 at 02:43 AM

An old teacher of mine was still using these back in the fifties. Nicely produced and processed. No, you're right. They were really popular in the UK and US about 100 years ago when these were made (roughly), but the Indian clubs used here grew out of generally heavier clubs that were used for martial arts training in India a good deal earlier than that. There's a pretty good summary at Wikipedia here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_clubs Sep 03, 2008 at 03:51 AM

Chad Schulz Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #12 · #308 antique aerobics Love the minimalist approach. Great lighting and choice of background. Almost looks like they're floating in space. Great entry, Chad Sep 03, 2008 at 09:22 AM
