No fair, Jeff. You're already taking images using next months challenge. Did a good job too. Thanks for setting an example. #1546087

Jeff E Jensen September 27, 2013

Yeah, except I completely forgot to take a shot of my setup. Oh well. #10854583

Looks like infrared. Nice job. #10854638

I was thinking the same thing as Mike.

Cool shot. #10854648

Rita K. Connell level-classic September 28, 2013

very cool indeed. at least tell how you did it. #10854901

looking at it again before closing I like that all the buttons didn't have 4 holes. #10854902

Yeah, this is neat. I thought it was infrared too. But am confused due to the comment for the challenge. Di you use a flash? Very fun and different. #10854919

The buttons all look like little alien faces to me; this shot makes me giggle :) #10855552

I'm guessing this was done using a TTL cable and holding the flash behind the buttons. #10855558

And this is why we guys have zips! #10855579

Thanks, everyone!

I really should have taken a setup shot. I actually thought about it as I was setting things up, but completely forgot. Must be the old age.

This was shot with the buttons spread out on a piece of glass that was sitting on top of 4 jars. I had two speedlights under the glass, triggered wirelessly from the camera which was on a tripod, pointing straight down. Here's another shot. #10855622

I thought maybe you had used a light box. I like the black and white version the best. It almost looks like an xray! #10855981

Jeff E Jensen September 30, 2013

Yeah, a light box would do about the same thing, Beth. #10856066

Nice work, Jeff. I really can't decide which I like the best. Both work for me and although I like the infrared look to the black and white I am also really liking the color. Will have to play with the flash this month and see what I can come up with. #10858505
