 This is not a shot I would ever submit normally, totally done last minute and only to not let my WPL teammates down this week so they´ll at least have a score from me, I just hope they won´t need to use it cause then we´ll really be in trouble :)

Anyway, just stuff found around the house, it´s shot half past midnight local time or 4 1/2 half hours before deadline so we REALLY weren´t up to putting much of an effort into this shot, Henny helped me out by holding the whisp and pouring syrup all over it while I took the photo.

Lit with 2 monolights, one with a snoot from behind to get that glare in the syrup beam and a softbox from the front to light the rest.

Post processing very minimal and would have been legal in basic editing except I removed a couple of glares with healing brush/clone stamp tool. Other than that, just standard raw conversion and curves and sharpened after resizing.

The clean black background and teeny bubbles definitely help this punch me in the eye - -now I just gotta get the syruppy stuff out.
