John are you going to explain picture to me in my language??
John Wright replied
I’m not sure if I can… the harddrive is the part of the computer that stores the files, such as the images we post here. I took it apart and photographed the plate that sits inside the harddrive.

John thank you because I understand the disk, blue light and I understand the macro but blue filter over flash not sure how done.. I just think you got a wonderful beautiful picture out of the disk. I had never seen a disk I guess.
John Wright replied
Oh, sorry, I obviously didn’t understand what you meant. I have a set of colored filters (plastic) that came with my old flash unit. I held it over my flash so the light it put out was blue. I held the flash over the drive, slightly opposite from the camera. The camera was on a tripod. I hand-held the flash in various locations to see what would happen, and this was the result I liked best.

excuse me change word disk to hard drive. It just looks like a disk to me.
John Wright replied
Well I guess most people won’t see it since this is the interior of the drive. It was one that had gone bad, so I took it apart to see what it looked like.

John Wright replied
Thank you very much Ger. I don’t go there nearly often enough, but I always enjoy browsing that site.
