To get some more interesting images and backgrounds to work with, I used 2 OHPs to combine some of my acetate images with objects. I feel like they're starting to work well, as the colours are more TRON-like and there is a range of textures present.
I like that the solid shapes of the floppy disc (left) and lace stencil (right) have been 'filled' with other marks or drawings, and the images are quite graphic with the bold black lines.
I also draped the OHP with foil to create a dark cave, which was then lit with LEDs and laser finger rings to encourage reflection and interesting light effects. I then photographed this and added shadows or highlights using Picasa. The folds in the shiny foil create crisp lines which contrast well with the diffuse light patterns. I started to add in objects as well; the circle in the bottom right image is from the inside of a floppy disc.
I also cropped small sections of the images to create backgrounds that I can use for photoshop designs. I can layer lighter or darker brushes on top as appropriate to get the right feel. Some of them may look better as they are, but I think it's worth doing a few experiments to find out.
