Perpetual

If anyone was wondering, it's one of those desk gadgets. My brother-in-law collects stuff like that and he lent it to me. Thanks Tom!!

The setup was fairly simple. Flash bounced off the ceiling to get the stop motion and ambient room light to capture the movement. Post editting included levels using all 3 eye droppers til I got the look I wanted. USM 125%, 1.5 rad, and 1 threshold. Cropped in portrait orientation. Re-sized.

A couple of things I would have done in hindsight ( and pointed out by several people - thanks for the contructive crits ) - I would have included the lower ball in the shot and I would have had a solid black BG (setup was too close to the backdrop).

Thanks again for the votes and the great comments!!

I almost had it figured out right. Was one of my top picks. I really expected a top 3 finish for this one. Nice job Heida. :)
