Dental floss dispenser.
I spent several days indulging in rather odd behaviour wandering around looking for hidden faces, or indeed hidden anything, within objects, all in pursuit of this week’s Macro Monday theme Pareidolia. I was looking for something in an everyday object that other folk could relate to rather than a natural one-off, but I didn’t see any of those either.
Could I find anything? It seemed like not. I kept thinking perhaps my brain wasn’t wired the right way.
I was beginning to think of giving this week a miss and my old friend Despair was just about to settle in comfortably again when I spotted this charming chap in my bathroom complete with goggles and fresh from his swim.
The container is two inches high and the “mouth” is an indentation so you can get your finger under the lid to open it (the dispenser is shown open here). I can’t help but think that this product was designed on a Friday afternoon when the designer had given up taking anything too seriously, especially design briefs…
I look forward to seeing what others have found in this rather strange search lol!
Hope you enjoy it and it causes a smile. Thanks for coming by and taking time to look.
[Daylight; tripod; delayed shutter release; VR off, manual focus.
The floor and the background were coloured A4 art paper sheets. It worked better with a lighter colour on the floor.
Darkroom developed in LR: exposure to accentuate the mouth shadows; colour temp raised to give the blue cast; square crop to strengthen the composition; very slight white vignette to lighten the background.
Generally sharpened in LR, but some selective additional sharpening using Topaz Detail, especially around the mask and the 50m label.]
