HARSHNESS

Uploaded: January 28, 2008

Description

Canon EOS 30D – Canon EF 24-105 – Canon 580EX Speed-lit – Canon remote 80N3
Aperture: 8.0 – Shutter speed: bulb (12 sec) – ISO: 200

The Elements: an empty egg, a spanner, black cloth as a background and white, big sheets as reflectors.

The photo is taken in a dark room. The source of light is the speed-lite which is used manually. I flash several time ( approximately 24 times ) in 3 different directions while the camera shutter is opened.

I manipulate the photo in Photoshop CS2 by using Unsharp Mask Filter, Dodge and Burn tools.

The theme is HARSHNESS of spanner on the THINNESS of egg shell.

Very cool shot, Majed. Thanks for sharing how you were able to achieve this. I think there's a little blurred bit where the shell has fallen off the egg, but that's minor because this is a fantastic and creative shot. Great job. #5409211
