dodgy zippo lighter...

dodgy zippo lighter... · 11:07 PM

I have seen stuff like this before, but I wanted this myself....but with something universally recognisable..

single AF540FGZ wireless flash two reflectors used to show off the texture of the metal.

any comments/critiques welcome

I bet you're sitting there thinking, "Picky, picky, picky... sheesh!"

There's just no pleasing some people...

(meaning me, of course)

well here's my final effort...and I think it gets the idea across.

Julie, I'm a musician, I know that you can't please everyone...especially critics.

I like - you really got the texture of the lighter on that one. I think the condensation's a little more obvious, too.

No kidding - I'm in biology, publishing my research, and the peer review process is brutal. One reviewer says "Brilliant, publish this at once!" but another one absolutely savages it. Go figure. I hope I haven't been too critical - I've enjoyed all the various iterations, and seeing the improvements.

Cool experiment. I like what you've done here.
I like the second image best , or if you could do the second image with the thirds water/flame.
