I enjoyed reading about the set up (and Lonnit's narrative!). It's amazing how much atmosphere the image conveys. -Michael

Nice shot Lathuric! It looks very realistic as if it were shot on a dark foggy night after a heavy rain while passing by a blue streetlight. Good illusion! CJ

You're so funny, Lonnit. See, it takes an imagination like Lonnit's to create all of these wonderful works of art! shu

Well that explains the camera tilt! LOL! At first I thought perhaps it ought to be straightened. Second thought, though, says leave it b.c. it makes it look more realistic, like it's coming down the road, is off kilter b/c it just hit a pot-hole, and is about to splash thru the puddle. I can almost see little gangsters popping out of it with their little tommy guns! Someone's getting whacked on this dark and rainy night. LOL! Do you shoot this well straight? ;) ~ Lonnit

I love to know techniques used but we rarely share them. Did you use a filter? A mirror? The car looks as tho' it has a flat or it may be just the composition. It looks like a toy. Well......????? shu

thanks for your words, is good to know tha some one like it.
well, it is a toy car, hot wheels, over a cristal table, the ilumination was made by a blue microlight at 2:00 am and 2 bottle of wine. :-)

Interesting work. Definitely catches the eye. I also find your use of space around the object thought-provoking. I would love to know a bit more about how you created this effect, if you do not mind sharing your "trade secrets" :-) Compliments. ~jnconradie
