Children of the Corn
Children of the Corn

Funny how things work out sometimes. The sun has been playing hide and seek but mostly hide the past couple of days. On Friday, I gave up bokeh hunting all together and yesterday (Saturday) I tried to make a few things work with some gold chain, an old favorite. I had this idea of putting the chains on something and after trying a few different props I thought I'd give this 1960's butter holder used for, you guessed it, buttering corn a try. I found it in my dad's house and it seemed like it might come in handy someday. Well, after modeling the corn a bit I started to like just the corn and bokeh that came from a single studio light. Today (Sunday) I thought I'd give it another try and did come up with a more bubble look to the bokeh with the aid of some sunlight. In the end, I stayed with this one that has a much softer look to the bokeh but I like it just as much. You just never know with the Oreston lens. Letting the bokeh have a bit more of the focus.

As for the title, well they look like little corn people/children all marching along. Corn People was also in the running, a kind of take-off from South Parks Crab People!!

Shot with the Meyer Optik 50mm f/1.8 Oreston @ f/1.8 with two (2) PK-13 and one (1) PK-12 Nikon Extension Tubes for a total extension of 69mm. The image is approximately 5/8 inch square.
