Bayoubooger has referred to me as Mr.Cabin fever. A complement I am sure. While I wait for a good day to create images out-of- doors I keep busy with some Still Life projects. Try some to keep your creative juices alive. This is a straight out of the camera image. No Photoshop layers. This image took three days to construct , light and capture. Day one was used to build the lava and fire. Day two was used to figure out how to place the smoke so that it could be lit without distracting from or hiding the jewelry. Day three, the shortest day, was used to capture the image. Just like magic all is not what it appears to be. This is also an illusion. A good exercise in creating a still life when you are snowed in.
