Very nice!

Looks like you're also foolin' with some processing software.

Negative on the software...all done in-camera.  I used a thick sheet of acetate and slightly bucked it to get

the "dream bend".  Black velvet under that. I've been trying to go back to shooting more in-camera old school techniques.

Thanks for looking.

Now that's using your imagination.  Congrats on your skill. Every so often I have to get out one of my old Nikon's.  I just love the feel of those old mechanical cameras and the sound of the camera and the motor drive. However, the fact remains that with digital, I know right now if I've made a mistake and can re-shoot it (unless it was an action shot).

Personally I do very little post-processing.  I try to take the picture the way I want to see it.

Show us more of your artistry.

I REALLY like the affect on the bottom pic.  Very nice.

Photography is what I do for a living - a long time.

This next pic was done one shot, double exposure in-camera.  Bottom ammo is on  translucent plexie, lighted under with a incandescent which has a orange gel filter. The gun is illuminated with a strobe.  Room lights go out, shutter opened, bottom light goes on for maybe 3 sec - then off. Pop the top flash -close the shutter and presto.. I probably had to do several test to nail it but no computer assist.

Okay - do any of you have:

A digital camera that you can keep the shutter open and then close it

A tripod

A laser pointer

If anyone answers YES, I can give you a very cool and easy assignment. assignment.

Mike wins.

 

Place you DW on a surface of your choosing...camera pointing at it as you wish. If you can leave the camera on manual with the shutter open without holding the  release, all the better. If you have a flash, even better yet.

 

Turn the room lights off, might have to do this at might.  Open the shutter, pop the flash, or put the light on for a second, then off.  Get your laser pointer out and trace/paint with the light over any area, or around it...do as you please...have fun.  Then close the shutter and see what you have.  This may take some testing as to f stop.

That is all I did here.
