Old Photos: Back Then..


Raging Aqua

I had the same set-up here as I had with 'Water Power'. The only difference was there's an extra light above it.
In the raw image file, the top light wasn't really obvious so, I had to manufacture my own. Also, during the post-processing part, I decided to give it a little 'surreal look' and did some 'multiple-exposure' look on it. Work out pretty well for my liking.

Playing Whiskey

Cinema Watching Popcorn

I intended for this photo to look like the popcorn is watching in front of a small TV screen. Tried to give it more character.

Santa In The Night

I really like low-key photos. Gives anything more character and a subtle drama (if I am anywhere near subtle).
I was only using a DIY light set-up here. I bought a simple fluorescent light to side light this figurine.
Three Wise Men
Water Power
 
This is a pretty easy photo. I had my assistant holding two bottles of Mountain Dew and pour it on a large container below. I used zoom lens as far as I remember and tried not getting other parts of the set-up outside the frame. I lit it at the back. I had a large piece of cloth as a backdrop and it was a little bit translucent.
 
The hard part of rendering this photo on my camera was the splattering water even though I was good 5-7 feet away from the set-up. I shot this in slow shutter speed and about f/8 in aperture.
 
And then, I decided to change the perspective to portrait. That gave it a little bit of 'no-gravity' effect.
