Paint Chips
Uploaded: May 23, 2017 08:25:58 | Entered: May 23, 2017 08:25:58
Some paint chips that I picked up at the hardware store...one for a painting project, the rest for a photo project. I used a wide aperture and a low, angled perspective, resulting in the white edges of the color cards showing out of focus. I shot this in reverse, focusing n the numbers with the lens as close as it would focus, and then flipped the image vertically in photoshop.
