After the inital Photoshoot comes a painstaking 10 hour editing job. 70 Photoshop Layers using photographic elements i have been creating and collecting for a few years now.
The bulk of the time is spent hand painting with dodge and burn overlay layers which allows you to paint with exposure. Also not to mention there is about 10 Layers, 100% hand painted within this image.
The Fire elements were gathered during a hispeed photographic experiment late 2009. Using kerosene and an LPG Torch, Canon 50mm f1.8lens @ 1/8000 sec. (Dont try this at home however, this was conducted in an industrial environment with fire safety equipment at hand)
Heres the specs.
- Canon EOS 50D.
- RAW CR2 @ 15mp
- Sigma 10-20mm @ 20mm F8.0
