Experiment with flash and textures on a blue perspex buddha, place on a glass table covered by 150 gram orange paper with a hold cut through the paper directly under the base of the buddha. Vivitar 283 fired remotely through a bounce unit under the buddha, making the paper and the buddha glow. Backdrop was blue and orange glittery gauze hung on a black mounting board, lit by the firing flashgun. All lighting came from the flashgun. First time using a TIFF file and not a JPEG from the camera too.

Post Scoring One day I will learn how to make images appealing for DPC! :-) But would that be me? chuckle

Hey Carl. This is really kinda cool. I think you'd have scored at least a whole point higher if you'd used something else as a backdrop - more of the orange paper, maybe, to make the statue stand out even more. The lighting setup is very nice - I like the way his eyes just barely glow.
