Alarm clock
For most people this is the last thing you want to see in the morning. I took an extreme close up of my alarm clock to challenge myself to make something common look interesting.
In order to get this look I used a longer exposure and altered the focus so the image would be a little fuzzy. The result is a sun-like glow around each of the digits. Also you can see the light emitted by the 'off' sections of the numbers. To differentiate the shot even more from real life I tilted the frame.
I think the image has a stark and almost eerie look to it. Much different than what a typical alarm clock looks like.

I really take pride in making the oridinary interesting. I'm glad I've been succesful doing that so far.
Jamie- I'm not a fan of my alarm either, the numbers kind of look evil to me, especially in the morning.
Nice one! You really captured how the alarm clock looks early in the morning when it's so hard to wake up. :-)
Nice shot, it's freaky can cool all at the same time.
I've just found your blog. Excellent photos. I especially like the faucet.
Thanks for the comments.
As I've said before comments and criticism really helps me grow and expand my photo experience.
