As mentioned in the last post, as well as taking pictures of the Slinky(s) on a white background, I also tried it on a black background. In this case, a spare T-Shirt.
The black background and the strobe/flash light really helped the colours in the slinky comes alive.
The problem with these sort of pictures is that they can look very samey to some and utterly different to others. Sadly, I fall into the later camp and it’s been a challenge to pick 6 (3 white, 3 black) which I liked to show here.
If I’d to do it again, I guess I’d diffuse the flash a little more to try and negate the highlights on the coils. And as mentioned, I’d try to use an additional strobe as well.
Looking at both sets of slinky pics I far prefer the ones on the black background. Especially the middle one. I didn’t think a slinky could look quite so industrial!
