Hey, I saw this on the home page. I am intrigued as to what this has in it or what made up the white of the photo. Can you give a run down of the how to's before the PP part? I would appreciate it. Thanks! Rose

White = Light!
Thus the "Painting with Light" challenge.
Looks to me like she did a double exposure, first with the bottle and glass, and then "colored" the background with a light.

PSP (Paint Shop Pro) - noise reduction tool.

Yeah, I am not talking about the flashlight or the light part. DUhh, obviously that was part of the actual challenge description. I am talking about what she did to achieve the effect from start to finish.
I know on a lot of my shots I give very detailed information, and would like to know how some shots are also done by others. So the mechanics of the shot is what I am looking for.

It is not a double exposure. Falc is right, it's simply a flashlight moving behind the props.
Camera on tripod, glass and bottle on a table, black cloth a ways behind the glass/bottle. Flashlight behind the glass/bottle and in front of black cloth. I wore a black shirt and pulled the sleeve down to cover my hand. The flashlight is navy blue (almost black). All that (arm, flashlight, shirt) disappears in the movement, the only thing visible are the props and the light.
The camera was on self-timer, F29, 5 seconds exposure. As soon as the camera's shutter opened, I started moving the flashlight. BTW, you can see the flashlight at the bottom of the glass (light and circle) where I started the movement.
Salt and pepper is a filter in PSP9. It removes detail, similar to noise reduction. I used a much heavier application of noise reduction than I like to do usually, but I liked the effect.
Hope that explains it.

It's pretty similar to the technique I described on  There are several comments from me on how it was done in there that might be helpful, not just in the description. |

Oh darn. You mean there's nothing controversial going on, no conspiracy or anything? ;^)

Thank you Ursula. I have always been intriqued by these type of action shots, and have always wanted to try one. Clever about the sleeve! I didn't notice the flashlight but will have to look more closely. However, thank you for explaining it in more detail. Love to know how certain shots are done. I could ask probably the same of about 100 different shots on the site as well. Someday I may take the time and ask about all of them :) In anycase, I am sure this will help the newbies as well. Me, still learning the settings on my D50, this helps a great deal. Kudos and congrats on your ribbon!!
Rose

When I am ready, I will ask for the written permission from you both, and when I submit, I will give you both the credits. LOL...I'm not kidding either! LOL..
