Zip me

Uploaded: August 22, 2011

Description

We usually ignore our zippers but it is a very useful object to our everyday life. And it's a beautiful object too.

Camera: Canon 450D
Flash YN560: Zoom at 35
F stop: f/8
Focal length: 50mm
Exposure time: 1/10

The bokeh = a small piece of purple plastic sprayed with water the with speedlite behind it. Taken beside the window with natural light and flash at the back of the purple plastic:)
To get the good detail I use magnifying glass
attached to my cheap lens. And I use tripod :)
