Well done Bruce! I thought this was done with a snoot - so great processing to achieve the look. I usually don't like tilting images but this looks really good. :-) CJ

It seems the main equipment you would need is to use Photoshop to create this Tommy:-) Bad boy Bruce:-)

This almost makes me want to own the equipment, but then I'd be too lazy to learn how to use it. The faces seem stenciled on. Andy Warhol would have loved it and your rendition that transforms this environment into an impressive if obscure work of art. -tv

Pretty nice! The tilt works very nicely, Bruce. You are among a VERY few photogs that I know who use the tilt very effectively. -Cat

Thanks Penny. This is the rear side of a coin laundry. What you see are the intake and output vents for the dryers. I have no idea why someone postered them with faces.

I really really like this. If you don't mind sharing, I'd love to know what the story is behind it. Penny Street

Why thanks, Rod. No tube. I used an external flash on with an external cord. Then, in ACR, I turned up the vignetting slider to darken the corners. After that, a duplicate layer with blending set to SCREEN. That kinda gave it the spotlight effect.

The pipes going off into the shadows looks really good Bwuce. How did you get the round light from the flash, did you use some tube? Anyhow all the tilts & lighting work very well here. You're a bleeding ahrtiiiiist mate:-)
