The stories with red kryptonite were always amusing.; 4/27/2009 1:50 AM

Mojo said...: Since a few people have asked, I'll clue you in on what this really is. I started with an old-fashioned slide sorter. For those of you too young to remember them, this is a metal box with an incandescent bulb in it and a translucent plastic over that has ridges molded into it to support mounted slides so they could be arranged in the order you wanted to present them. I took out the ordinary light bulb and replaced it with a low wattage red bulb, then replaced the cover and dropped a handful of the de-icing crystals you use to melt the ice on your driveway on top. Then I set up the tripod and screwed a +4 macro filter on my 85mm f/1.8 lens and did my usual shoot-adjust-repeat until I got this. And several other similar shots from various angles -- some of which you'll see here at some point I'm sure. It didn't work out quite like I envisioned it, but it was still a likable shot.; 4/28/2009 10:53 AM
RA said...: I should have thought that it needs more than bread crumbs to get Superman under your spell :). Very creative shot!; 4/28/2009 7:05 PM
Shadow said...: okay.... i'd NEVER have guesses...; 4/30/2009 4:32 AM
