A few scraps of canvas with backlighting, long exposure and selective lighting using a small flashlight. Substituted the color version for the B&W version posted initially.

Great shot. I want to frame it for my house

An amazing composition -- very creative and artistic.

Great abstract Robert, really well done. I really like the preserved soft texture in the near canvas.

Thank you, Travis. I look forward to seeing your entry this week.

This is fantastic! Well done! Mind if I ask what lens you used?

Greg --

Thank you for the kind words.

I took a few shots initially with the Canon 100mm f/2.8 macro lens, but I wasn't getting the look that I was after, so I replaced the macro lens with a Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS fitted with a 500D closeup filter. This setup gave me greater depth of field and a creamier background than I was getting with the macro lens. My computer monitor served as a back light, and I hit the inside of each roll of canvas with quick bursts from a small flashlight. I say quick, because I had only six seconds of exposure time in which to do it.

You asked about the lens, and I told you how to make a camera. Sorry if this is TMI.

Best regards,
Robert

Stunning photography! I love the dreamy effect that you've created with the light and shadows. The curved canvases appear to me as two beautiful Calla Lily heads.

I agree with Twistedlim, this would look great as a framed print. :-)

There's a WHOLE LOT that is very right with this one ...

Very nice, a wall hangar for sure.

That is an interesting comparison, Mairi, and now that you have mentioned it, I can see the resemblance to the Calla lily. Thank you for taking the time to comment.

Don't hold your breath...if I get around to it tonight, it won't hold a candle to the entries this week...
