Don’t be a dip! switch!

This was a great subject to explore varying DOF’s, as is the spring @ the bottom of the post.

Broken light bulb shards

This is….I don’t know. More of an exploration in color than getting details from any particular object. I have been doing a little more of this lately, if the colors strike me, I run with it.

A very cool spring but from where it came I do not recall! It reminds me more of a slinky than a spring but it’s not a toy.

Dish soap spout!

This looks pretty scary. All it is, some ‘sticky tack’, used to hang poster on the wall and the like. I use it to hold many of my TiMACROfied items; it works great.

More fun with q-tips….clean of course!

These two look so similar to several I have done, I am not quite sure what it is! Reminds me of the ‘cheerio dust’, almost looks like a slice of bread too….sorry I do not know for sure :/

Broken shard from the smashed light bulbs. I couldn’t let the colored pieces go to waste, had to include them in some shots too. Which answers the question…why didn’t I just toss the broken glass! Now you know ;)

..

ummmm…..paper? maybe cardboard, maybe even a old TP tube.

Finally, one I know without a doubt :p

a ‘ziplock’ baggie

These last 4 could be anything! This is the post of “I’m not quite sure”….bad Timmy!

I think this is actually one of the flashlights I use, I was trying to get some of the light coming through the plastic in the light…

This is just a light bulb, not some “recreational paraphernalia”!! The inside of a light bulb to be more precise, hence all the wire and stuff.

These next 3, I have no idea! 1st one actually looks like a hard object, maybe a pretzel goldfish, the other 2 look more like the inside of a fruit. I bet I have it written down somewhere :D

....

pellets for a really weak powered pellet gun I’ve used to smash light bulbs

more light bulb carnage

q-tips, thank God for them :)
