My new image for The Daily Photo Game bends the current car theme in a different direction. Charley’s, Jay’s and Robert’s images’ all feature automobile headlamps, albeit from different points of view. I am taking another POV on headlamps.
This image came to me as I lay awake this morning in bed. I grabbed my trusty sketch book and did a doodle, actually, several of them. They all had a surrealist bent to them, one involved a selfie, but was not doable in the 8hr production window I have to get the image done. This one seemed achievable and I liked its simplicity.
So off I go, shopping for a round headlamp at the auto part store. With that in hand, how am I going to power it up? 12 volts and all. Luckily, I had a large battery charger that would do the conversion for me, I hooked the leads onto the back of the lamps and voila, let there be light! I made 3 captures, the glasses, and two views of the headlamp, shifting it for the second lens.
I was pleased with how it turned out. If you think so as well, please comment and share with your peeps. Thanks, Russ
