FROZEN NINJA TURTLE
When a turtle works as a model for refrigerators.
by Gioia del Colle



Just open the door of my fridge and you will probably be looking at several strange things: a green piece of cheese, a milk IED and a forgotten sandwich that doesn't look really... inviting. The smell, and the fact that there is something actually moving, will push you to close the fridge's door and look for the phone number of disinfestation company.

Now, just open Nakaoka's fridge and things will be quite different. Two Kirin's bottles, some other drinks, an half eaten cake and...Even though whatever there is...is moving, you will not close the door as soon as possible. On the contrary, you will open it even more and start calling the small creature inside. What the hell does a tortoise do there?

Photographer: Nakaoka Hideto of Panopic360.exblog.jp.

What: "You are a Vegetarian, Aren't you?" As Hideto stated "It was an affair between me and my pet".

When: Sep 23 2007.

Where: In Nakaoka's refrigerator,Tokyo, Japan.

Why: Nakaoka wanted to make a funny short story. So he asked his pet tortoise to appear in a QTVR. The tortoise's name is "Iso".

How/technical details: Canon EOS 5D, Nikon 10.5mm(without a hood), King macro focus adjuster with a bracket, Manfrotto 300N and a plate of steel(200mm by 300mm). Stitcher Unlimited 5.5 and photoshop CS2.

He shot 3 pictures at 120 each, with the timer...

...And 1 picture for nadir by hand held. It took only 20 seconds because "Iso" didn't like such a cool place.

After shooting, Nakaoka served her special organic vegetables as the "Best actress" award.

Nakaoka Hideto is a professional photographer working for magazines, catalogues and web pages. He usually takes 360°panoramic photo of the day, or - as he says - "nothing special in Tokyo: very usual sceneries"
