A fun lighting technique described HERE
~I describe this on my other blog (very similar to this one but with book reviews, photography product links, and other stuff)
I know: the barrel of the gun is DOWN; how horrible of me. I just liked how the stock looked AND it’s just a BB gun.
I like this picture, how many lights are used in taking this picture.
I took about 10 shots (30 second exposures each) with only a small flashlight shining on each part of the stove in total darkness. Then I “colored” the light quality by adjusting the temperature and tint in Adobe Camera Raw and combined the 10 shots in Photoshop. I layer masked all ten shots and brushed (with a soft brush) through the layer mask to expose the different colored lights. Hope this helps. If it doesn’t make sense I will try to do another and explain better.
