Watching Paint Dry – Day 9

November 9th, 2009 by Neil Corman

There is an old saying when something is boring it is like watching paint dry.  During the summer month I found a paint can which dried up without any watching.  I believe this is some paint which is a couple of owners old, and when the can was looked at prior to disposing the can the result in the bottom of the can was interesting.  For the past few months it has sat in my garage, and today took a place in the spotlight under the camera lens.

Lighting the bottom was just using open shade to help make the light evenly distributed across the base, and then it was trying to find an interesting pattern through the viewfinder.  There were a couple of images which I thought about using, however the following was picked to be Day 9 of Thirty Days.

The paint can is still in my garage, so I may explore what is in the can some more in the upcoming weeks.

    Very nice, Neil. I’d guess the photo was of ice breaking up. Great creativity in finding something so interesting and beautiful in such a mundane place.
