That's All Right

That's All Right
This week's Sunday Challenge was to shoot something personal with the added twist of having to combine it with a previous technical challenge.

So, I decided to use this old enamelled belt buckle I bought many years ago and to give it the selective lighting treatment.

Throughout my own life I've been a huge fan of Elvis Presley and as a young man I used to love wearing thick belts with large buckles like the one you see here.

This one is rather special though as it was a limited edition produced by the American Legends Foundry to mark the life of the King of Rock 'n' Roll.

I really felt it would be ideal for the selective lighting treatment. My only concern was that I wanted to bring out the vibrant blue enamel that forms the background to the design and so had to be careful with how I positioned the Maglite torch that was my only light source.

In the end I think I got it just about right.

That surprises me as I thought this kind of thing was more popular over there, but I know what you mean as it can be tricky over here too.

Mind you Norm, if truth be told I'm finding it much more difficult to source a belt that fits me of late ... hence the diet! ;)

The belts are a little longer these days for sure! :-) The real hang up is the Chinese don't put snaps on the buckle end of their belts and you often have to hunt up a custom belt maker. It's big over here in places ... besides the waist! :-)

well done
I had a friend who was also a big Elvis fan, he even had a life size poster of him on the wall.
I still know by heart a lot of Elvis songs through him.
