very nice, i am noting a theme of booze to your 366 slowly occurring Laurie, and you tell me you don't even drink..........!! Lovely idea regardless, and refection & bright colours help to

 

[Laurie Parker]

[Kev Pugh]

I like the theme here Laurie good use of light and reflections

 

[Laurie Parker]

cheers kev

 

[Dan Cattermole]

That's very good!
Did you use some sort of black card to controll the backround?
My wife drinks that stuff..... Uuurrgghh!!!

 

[Laurie Parker]

Cheers ,I used a black muslin backdrop with a piece of glass placed over it for reflections

and I agree its gross lol

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Works brilliantly I say.
Might have just have me a few ideas....

[Laurie Parker]

cheers Guys, I got smoked out of bedroom cos of these pete lol, And deffo have a go Glen it really is fun some fab patterns can be found in that smoke

 

[Allan Batchelor]

like the colours your getting out of that Laurie.

Out of curiosity what do you use to produce yer smoke? had thought about trying this at some stage myself along with water once get a speedlight

 

[Brodie Jackson]

Smoke shot looks awesome!!

 

[Laurie Parker]

cheers Both, Allan I use incense sticks for the smoke, tried all different way but find incense the best to use also you get a nice smell about the place lol, every now and then Ifan the smoke with a sheet of a4 card to get the smoke to move around more, speedlight set up to the right of the smoke, and a nice darkened room

the black background I use is a muslin sheet about ten foot by 8 foot its attached to backdrop stands, but any non reflective black material will do, just make sure no stray light hits the backdrop, It can also be done with a bright set of led's if you have any of those use them to light up the smoke, then the flash isnt needed but the better results are with flash, worth a go though until you get a speedlight

 

[Laurie Parker]

Today used a game character with some incense sticks and some fiddly lighting wanted to have the subject lit but wanted him to look like he was emerging from shadows
