 I'm not really satisfied with the quality if the image, it's somewhat flat and has too much noise in the shadows. At least I got the effect I wanted.

Thanks to my girlfriend's brother, Max. He gave me his smoke machine for the shooting.

In each boot there is a flashlight which is showing up, and a bicycle rearlight which lights the toes.

Post Processing in PSP8
*Note: I had to use a different PC than usual and cannot rely on the occuracy of colours and light. I hope the picture still looks okay.*

great effects--I'd like to see this shot from the ground looking up as if the boots were a tall structure on fire--cool shot

My guess is that people will either love this or hate it. Myself I love it - This is my favorite shot of the challenge so far. 8 - The focus seems a little off but I understand how difficult it was in the low light. Very creative and lots of fun to design I am sure.

nice. dry ice or smoke machine?
 08/31/2005 11:31:00 AM
Nice, I love the idea and the lighting. Only to nitpcik it´s a bit noicy and the red dot on the side close to the heel of the red boot is a bit distracting it still is one of the most interesting shots in the challenge and I love the title. 8 from me.

Bwahaahahaha, very witty. And excellent lighting, it really works here. You pulled the idea off well. A tiny complaint, the tiles on the floor, and the wall are a bit distracting. Perhaps they could have been either burned out altogether.

 08/31/2005 08:03:42 AM
Whooaaa. . . how'd you do THAT! Very interesting looking!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/31/2005 05:20:46 AM
Great idea and well executed. Had you run this through something like NeatImage to get a bit of the noise out it would have preally popped more. 8 from me.

Excellent! A different imaginative shot.

Made me laugh, very funny. nice colors; i think the tiles are distracting - would have chosen a different floor.
