Weekly Assignment #112: Spot Lighted

Nikolai

This class theme is loosely based on recent self-portrait of Ivar, in which his whole face was covered with the paint spots. Your task, however, is to cover your subject with the spots of light. Imagine a large colander placed between the light source and your subject. The idea is to have non-planar surface of the subject and a strong geometric pattern of the holes.
If you're totally out of geometrically "holed" material you can use blinds/shatters, but that's kinda old...
As always: fresh entries only. Multiple entries are OK if they are significantly different.
Let's get spot lighted!

Seemed pretty simple, put something with holes between the flash and the subject, but it isn't quite that simple. I tried a bunch of stuff and couldn't figure it out. Finally I went to the kitchen, grabbed a colander and held it up in front of a desk lamp pointed at the wall. The light bulb went on and with just a few more shots I got one that I think fits the the assignment.

Yep! Great entry!
Tricky but fun, huh?

I just bought my first DSLR and wanted to learn as much as possible. I have been looking at the assignments and this is my first post. I hope this pictue fits the assignment type. I used the top of a candle holder with a flashlight shining through. I tried several setting trying to get used to the camera and this is the best I could come up with. Any C&C is welcome.

Thanks, Tom

Hi Tom,
welcome to Dring and to the Class!
Interesting entry, but I honestly have no idea what your subject was...

I used a hole riddled canvas with black light shining on the horse.


OK here is some other shots long exposure with an LED light and Colander

Thank you Nikolai,
Taking another look I understand what you mean. It is actually the side of a saddle. I have posted a new try.

Saddle? Huh... I was kinda thinking in that direction, but decided it's too wild to be true
And just to reiterate .. The idea of this task is not to make it hard to figure out what it is (we do have a "Guesswork" theme for that:-), but to light a - recognizeable, I must add - object in this peculiar way...
