Description Rainbow Keyboard

A rainbow of light over my well used and rather dirty keyboard. This is caused naturally as the sunlight passes through the prism-effect transparent edge of my Samsung "Touch of Colour" monitor bezel.
Best seen in full size if you can, use download link, its rather dirty and full of fingerprints etc but thats kind of the point

This is not manipulated in any way. (except, well it is cropped)


PS. I really should clean my keyboard, i never noticed how dirty it was until this photo...

This is my entry to the Young Photographers contest, i am submitting it under the theme of "Reflections" for 'With Accusing Eyes'. Read about the contest here [link]

Up to you if you interpret anything from this or just see it as a photo of a keyboard. For me though, what actually made me submit this was i realised i actually sat and 'reflected' on this picture when first taking it off the camera. The combination of a dirty piece of modern technology and the spectrum of light / rainbow.. i dont know how to describe it, just something that made me think.

The contest seems to have been abandoned or forgotten at this point, still, i like this picture and there are others submitted that are great too.

I'm glad you liked so many of my pictures

To be honest i am not so sure i have a good eye, i am not very artistic at all. The way i get my pictures is partly being in the right place at the right time but more that i take LOTS of pictures. I've taken several hundred this month with no more than ~20 that i would want to show to anyone. As for good enough for deviantArt maybe only 3-4 of those several hundred will make it here.

With digital camera you can try, review, retry, re-review, retry again, its brilliant!

Your very welcome^^

Hey, if taking lots of pictures is your thing thats great^^ But i still think your artistic. And i know how you feel when you say u dont want to show anyone and good enough for DA? I sometimes think lots of my stuff isent, which is proboly why i dont have very much on my DA page...that and my scanner hates me, hee he.

But anyways, i really liked it^^ Thumbs up for u^^

And to be honest ive thought of trying my habd at taking photos, maybe i will try it someday^^

You're kind once more At least with photography you dont need a scanner you dont need anything much really. If you can, carry your camera around with you and well, assuming its a digital one, take pictures and just see how they turn out. The more you take the more you'll realise what works and doesnt. I'm sure its the same with your art, especially if you are still doing art class at school.
This photo is something completely new and different for me but especially with my bird pictures there is a definate improvement over the months i've been photographing them.

True, u dont need a scanner for photos, which would be quiet nice.And i am taking art still in school, which is fun^^

By the way, do you use a normal digital camra, or do u use a really expensive digital camra?

Well, im glad your getting better! Im going to watch you so i can see your improvement, and just be able to look at your stuff^^

I have a really long answer so i'll note you, but the simple answer is my camera is pretty expensive yes

Thank you for watching, i hope i can continue to offer you enjoyable pictures!
