Motif: Water - " Too Much Too Soon"
Techs: This composition is an image overlay of two frames captured in RAW and then converted to JEPG. Format; shot at four frames per second using a polarizing filter, at 75 percent capacity. The wine glass was coated with glycerin to make the water slippery, entering the glass, and adding a sheen appearance as it was sliding out. The image was under exposed on purpose to create a natural balance and transition between the darks and the whites.
The image was painted with a Nikon D200, using a Nikkor 105mm f/2.8D macro lens with a 12mm extension tube.
Image solution:
focal length @ 105mm / exposure mode @ aperture priority / 1/1000sec. - f/16 / ISO @ 320
white balance @ manual, custom profile using an expo disk for color calibration / AF - mode @ auto - high speed continuous / metering mode - a combination of in camera matrix metering and external hand held spot meter on three anchor points for balanced lighting. / lighting solution - one speedlight placed at a 90 degree angle from the rear on manual mode set to ¼ lumen burst with attached diffuser; and an additional diffuser panel in front. Also used a combination of a 36" soft box placed from the top at 180 degree angle; two 300 watt strobes powered down to 1/3 lumen burst with diffuser panels placed in front at 45 degree angles, in conjunction with two 22" silver disk reflectors angled from both sides. / exposure comp @ -3.7EV / tone comp @ +1 degrees / hue adjustment @ +2 degrees / saturation factor @ +1 degrees /
support platform - tripod assist, with macro focusing rail and cable trigger release /
Comments greatly appreciated...:cool:
