A couple of people asked me how I produced the above image. Actually it wasn't as easy as I first thought it would be. I went out and purchased a LEVITRON and spent an hour or so perfecting the spin and lift (I cheated with the spin and used a spinner).



This is a cool tool/toy once mastered but leave it alone even for 5 minutes and you find you have to change the weights again (they vary from 3 grams to 0.1 gram.

This shot used 1x1, 2x0.4, 1x0.2 and 2x0.1. Its trial and error to get the weight right and on top of that you are constantly altering the level of the LEVITRON via its 3 legs to ensure its perfectly level (a wobbly table doesn't help matters).



Although my final entry was just about a straight desat with light (green) duotone I spent hours on variations and 'A' below was my submission for most of the week. I felt the editing might make peeps think it was fake.



Thanks for all the great votes and comments, they are much appreciated :)
