These are the anodized handles to a small set of finger driven drill bits. Taken with a single 60w desk lamp, bounced off white board to lessen reflections. I had quite a few pieces of white cloth over the lamp (to soften the light and reflections even more) so the lighting was quite subdued, thus the long exposure.
