Spanner within a bucket of disturbed water. Single flash head hand held if I remember correctly.

Concept came from a water and steel theme.

That is just a wonderful effect and a super image. What a brilliant idea. A trend is beginning to appear here Gavin with these experimental compositions and distinctive PP. An it's a trend I really like!!

Wow!! What an incredible idea. I read your description while keeping the image hidden. I know you well enough now to want to wait to be surprised and I was

Thank you Pete. I don't if I've said this before but when I first invested in photography for the better I thought that I'd be into landscape photography, but its now completely the opposite.
I'm not able to be 100% descriptive on the journey to this style of PP but focusing on the subject in hand was always heavy on my thoughts, focus as in emphasising the primary subject. The third party elements such as smoke and water developed as time passed.

With future images I'll include a room shot of it being done in hope that others can see there's no level of difficulty. Just a little patience and having some fun.

You're very kind indeed Lesley. If ever you're interested in creating something like this please do say and I'll be happy to collaborate with you.

Looking at these images again I'm getting the bug to come up with something. Ideas on a postcard...

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Looks great to me. Really draws you in.

 

[Brian Moore]

As Pete said its a super image.

It's something that you'd think took thousands of pounds worth of digital image processing to render - but then you realize it's a real object taken with a real camera.

Fabulous!
