cropped tighter at the bottom to try and keep attention on the ceiling
------------------------------
Found this location a couple of months ago and had the idea for this type of shot back then. It was just a matter of waiting for the right opportunity to do it. When I saw a challenge which called for a ceiling to be featured, that was it. I asked Robskito play the part of the mysterious MiB and off we went.
The set up:
First of all the room is in total darkness. We set everything up by torchlight.
Cameras were on tripods and set to 30 second exposure. Rob tripped the shutters then took up his position under the hole. In the meantime I was upstairs (via an external fire escape)spraying a can of 'harmless party fog' down through the hole. (I reckon a can of cheap air freshener would have done the job just as well).
A single flash provided the light.
The underside of the ceiling was lightened in Camera Raw and the mono conversion in Nik silver fx.
Thanks for all the kind comments and votes.
