June 18: SP Friday – Smoke and Mirrors

Rancho Bernardo, CA


You probably think I just flipped my image in Photoshop. Wrong! This was taken with mirrors in my (ahem) bathroom. The smoke part was my application of neat image to the parts that I desaturated.

The thing that really has me worried is I think I am more handsome upside down ;-). Or maybe it is just all the blood that rushed to my head!

Pentax Optio 550
1/48s f/3.2 at 10.9mm full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

(Thought maybe the Padres had cause you to flip your lid. Tough one last night) Care to share your techinque for this one? Do you have a book for creative photography?

Looking at the picture, one could think that your head comes thru a foam carpet in a filled bathtub. Nice rework, Robin
