After reading a blog posting by
Fotomom about Rainbows I was intrigued by the idea of placing a CD in the microwave. Not sure if I should put it on a paper plate or a glass plate I opted for the glass plate. If you try this make sure to use an old plate as I don't think the burn marks are going to come off. We've all done photos of the light refracting on a CD and placed the water drop to catch the rainbow, but this does have a new and interesting effect. The cracking of the interior of the CD, I guess this would be gaps in the data, produce beautiful lines almost like a spiderweb.
This first photo was taken with a 24-70 lens and the light was produced with a little Ikea desk lamp.
In Photoshop, the Oilpaint option from Pixel Bender was added
Lastly, the Poster Edges filter was added
I then added a few little drops of glycerin and changed to my 105mm Macro Lens.
Added the Oilpaint option from Pixel Bender
And finished off with Poster Edges in Photoshop
