Playing with light
Long exposure (8s), trigger camera with remote (why didn't it trigger this time), toss remote, wait for shutter, move hula hoop with LED lights around to create aura, toss hoop away, assume meditative pose, 2nd curtain flash with alien bee 800 above and to the right.
Chimp the image, adjust settings, find the remote (how the heck did it get over there), retrieve the hula hoop (it rolled where) and repeat until happy.
In post - cleaned up a few stray lines and items caused by my small space and fabric background, Nik Efex Silver 50% opacity layer to give a more dramatic look, boosted the reds a little. Adjust size, sharpen, save and post.
Tried this numerous times with different results, different aura, different poses, sitting on items to lift me off the floor, eyes open, eyes closed, different clothing, no clothing etc...
-after voting-
Was hoping for a better result on this, liked the idea I had for making the image but it wasn't well received, maybe too static or the processing, or how it looked on other screens, guess I'll never know. |
