Thank you everyone, I'm humbled to ribbon :) Double thanks to hanneke for talking me into entering SLSIII instead of Beatles!!
My original submission:
Which I really like (it reminds me of a Dax- but she's sooooo good and such a great artist she'll cringe at the comparison) and where the 'Dance' part came from, to me it looks like a choreographed ballet or maybe a floor full of waltzers. Unfortunately I used natural light for this one so I resubmitted, good thing I read the challenge details!!
When I resubmitted I forgot to change the title which should be "In A New Light" ... I think titles are important, but that's me.
My setup:
High-tech is my middle name. The most important part were the DVDs -no joke- so I could get the light at the right height.
I used this light. The green was changed when importing through Camera Raw, I changed tint and white balance to achieve the cyan.
Some uber-cool outtake shots were where I put the tip of the light inside the parachute ball - the parachutes turn to stars!! I'll edit and post some later.
Feel free to post your dandelion photos, I think they're an underrated flower.
I agree, I think everyone needs a picture of one in their portfolio. I saw one the size of a base ball the other day and was mad that I did not have my camera with me!
That was a great set up...thanks for sharing the technology with us.
