«Let's Play "What's That Thing?"»

I took this photograph last night, and touched it up a bit in Photoshop. I think it'd make a good desktop background. I've cropped it to 2560x1600, so it's in widescreen format.

Guess what this is...

It was dim in my room, so I used a longish exposure (2 seconds, I think). The green and red come from laser pointers that I shined next to it. The actual white light is from my computer monitor.

I always like macro photography, this photo spans about an inch of the real object.

  4. I've decided to take out where it says what it is. So now it will be more fun for those who didn't see it before...

  7. @ Anonymous (#7): I was looking for my copy of Sim City 4 and I came across that music box, so I photographed it. Now I too have a music box lying around my computer.

  10. @ Anonymous (#10): yeah, I tore apart that music box years ago. I don't think I smashed it though, just took out some screws and threw away the outer casing.

  12. @ Anonymous (#12): But you take the risk of damaging the inner workings, and thus your chance to see how it really works.

    Exactly, a hammer is too risky. It's better to use a chainsaw.

  14. @ Vid: No, you're liable to hit something metal and dull your chainsaw.
