Artist's Comments

for C27 : Illusions over at Neosynthesis

illusions are a lot of smoke and mirrors.

created using incense smoke, a black backdrop and a light shining in from the side. mirrored in photoshop.

hope this is the correct category

i just set up a sheet of black bristol board behind the incense. :D
aimed the lamp in from the side so it wasn't lighting up the background and got in nice and close with my camera. i had to remove a bit of noise and do some minor editing on the background in photoshop so that it was completely smooth because there was a bit of light reflection going on there :D

Thank you very much. One more question:
Do you use a flahlight or something or do you just use the daylight??
You're such help :D

a flashlight might work, i used one of these [link]
the main thing is you need the light to point in one direction so that it isn't lighting up the backdrop :D
