Scissors

Strobist: one radio-triggered flash 5 feet directly above subject fired into parchment paper diffuser 6 inches below flash. Horizontal gobo suspended 3 feet above subject with circular hole about 3 inches diameter cut in center. Variations of heights of components can precisely control diameter and softness of spotlight. Flash fired at full power. Scissors suspended by Negagrav 9000 anti-gravity device set to suspend mode (or maybe I used monofilament fishing line...I can't remember).

Great concept with excellent impact. In the small image I can't tell if you have a hotspot or there is detail in the top scissor blade. It certainly inspires me to try some new ideas.

Hi, I'm a member of the group scissors, and I think your fab photo would be a great addition to the pool. The group is fairly new and could always use more scissor loving members.
