This was shot in a games arcade a couple of weeks ago (October 2010) with the permission of the staff. I never use a tripod when I shoot, so I had to work carefully to ensure clarity in near-darkness.
It wasn’t just the colours and shapes that caught my eye, but the sheen on the metal as well. Can you spot the tiny blue tinge in this picture?
I do not crop, enhance or post-edit my images in any way. Shot with a Pentax K100D, using a Sigma 18-125mm lens. F5.6, 1/60 sec, ISO 800, focal length 68mm.
