Springs (+PiPs)

Springs (+PiPs)
I've been playing around with a couple of old clock springs. I quite like the abstract shapes they make.

There are two more images in the PiPs if you'd like to see more.

Thanks for looking :-)

This is rather nice, Keith, both the main photo and the PiPs. My father was a watch and clock repairer and I don't think he would have appreciated ths though. ;-)))

Glad you like these Amelia.............thank you so much.

I can see why your father wouldn't be impressed, but these came from a really cheap and nasty old clock, which was broken well before I bought it :-)))

Was für tolle Ideen du hast, Keith! Das sind faszinierende Studien.
Gehören die Federn zur Schokoladenuhr? Ich habe einmal gehört, wenn die Uhr steht darf man alle Schokoladenstücke auf einmal essen ;-)

Keith Burton club has replied to trester88 club
I try Wilhelm. Glad you like these.

Yes, the springs were part of the clock which I bought just to take it all to bits to photograph.

You can eat the chocolate any time ofter the photo is taken, but if you eat them in the dark, the calories can't find you :-))

A great B&W Keith the main image tricks your eyes as if you are looking into a cone, if you have a sheet of holograph card try putting the spring on that you might get some interesting colours

Keith Burton club has replied to Peter Castell club
Many thanks for your kind comments Peter............I like trying out stuff like this, especially when the weather outside is rubbish!

I've never heard of holographic card..........I'll have to do some research.
