An Idea Lost

An Idea Lost by Cayusa.
Day 134 of 365

So last night as I was working on my 365 and Justice Picture for Take A Class With Dave and Dave I had an idea for tonight's self portrait. From what I can remember (It was late and I was exhausted) it was a great idea and I was really excited about it. Unfortunately, I didn't write it down and now I can't remember what the idea was or what inspired it.

Tonight's portrait is a tribute to that lost idea. I hope I eventually remember what it was, but for now it is gone.

Many thanks to FadderUri for the idea of the exposed light bulb

hahahaha I SO know this feeling, I always attributed it to getting/being old... but maybe not, eh? This is too cool :-)

With these it is pretty much hit or miss. FadderUri warned that you only get about two seconds worth of light before the tungsten burns out. I went through 6 light bulbs before getting the shot I wanted. It is a fun (although expensive as you burn through lights) little excersice. I'm going to have to do some more of these.

That happens to me a lot.....I think of ideas as I'm falling asleep, I'm too lazy to get up and right them down and by morning, it's gone.

But lucky for you, a great shot came out of it. This is really cool!

LOL, now that you mention it, I see the resemblance, especially in the thumbnail.

I'm looking again, and I think it's an index finger. So never mind. :)

I totally thought it was a hand pointing towards the sky! This is much better, and I like the story. Totally relate.

I would have kept shooting light bulbs, but I ran out and this was the best of the bunch. It is a neat, but expensive, little trick and looks very cool when it is happening......all 2 seconds of it
