130: Flying Shreddings

The best of 96 attempts at chucking a bundle of newspaper shreddings! I could have just laid some paper down in a pattern, but that wouldn't have had the 3D look with depth-of-field blur I was trying to attain.

It didn't help that the 50mm lens I used has a somewhat restrictive field of view for this kind of subject, also I had other misses due to triggering the shutter out of time with the flying mass of paper strands.
I will use a wider lens next time.

And I am not advertising a certain consumer electronics corporation here; it simply happened to turn up in this shot.

Settings: f/7.1, 1/180, ISO 100, P-FA 50mm, 1/4 flash, black velvet, tripod. Luminance Curve adjustment, cropping, black background cleaned up.
