103: Steel & Holes

This is a detail of a folding steamer; in my view bearing a slight resemblance to the blades of a jet turbine.
There was a hint of green peculiarity going on with the white balance (I used both flash in front and a "daylight" flourescent lamp behind,) so I had a good mess around with it, adjusting the luminance curve and pulling all the colour out. I like the image much more now.

Settings: f/11, 1/60, ISO 200, 50mm Cosinon M42,19mm extension, tripod, 1/4 flash, table lamp, white reflectors.
It's turned out surprisingly grainy for ISO 200, but then again I did tweak the contrast quite a bit, and it's from a K10D, so a fair degree of noise is a fact of life. It is quite a film-grainy noise though, so I quite like it nonetheless.
