Plectrum

Bit of an experiment [which, it has to be said, my wife thinks is rubbish]: this is a plectrum a colleague from work gave me today, which is from the Bowie exhibition at the V&A. As it’ll get wrecked, I thought I’d take a snap of it first:

This is a macro shot [F5, 1/50th sec, 100mm plus flash], with the plane of focus deliberately across the distinctive make-up.  I’ve then resized the image to lose the compression from forcing the plane of focus, and put it through a softening filter in Color Efex.
