Challenge: Spinning (Basic Editing)
Camera: Canon EOS-20D
Lens: Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro
Location: Front Room
Date: Mar 26, 2007
Aperture: 3.5
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/120s
Galleries: Humorous
Date Uploaded: Mar 26, 2007

 Took the door off the washing machine for this and mounted it on black card. Straight flash from front and blue filter on flash for side light.
Hair mousse did for the foam - it was the only thing that would stay "foamed" for long enough to take the shot.
Basic contrast/brightness & sharpen.

Post-challenge: Thanks for the comments everyone, it's great to get such positive feedback. I had considered a white background, but whilst I was shooting this I didn't have any bright white card to hand (only some off white, which looked terrible).

Reminds me of a very old cartoon ... a "hillbilly" grandma is found sitting in front of the front-loader by her relatives, with the caption "Well, all I can say is, if this is television you can have it!"

Very creative. It will be a long time before I know how these set ups are done. I love the center. The white rim and black background seem to compete altogether with the photo - it's like there are 3 things to look at: center, white and black. Given the center is so awesome - 8

This is so funny. You must share how you set this up. I'm sure you will score high

excellent idea and good execution; a white surface had been better than the black
