the hooks were taped to a spare tripod after I stuck them through my fingers. a flood light was clamped above my hand pointing down - and a 500ex fired off camera was set below, behind, and to the right of frame using the catch light reflector. it was a difficult exposure because of the dynamic range.
i used my free hand to take the shot.

the image was edited using a mask, curves, levels, and a dodge/burn. saturation was adjusted - then channel mixer was used to fine tune the BW conversion.


glad some are enjoying the image ;}
