Who let the Genie out of the bottle?

Strobist info - Bottle with incense sticks within it, lit from camera right with a brolly-box.

Quite a bit of photoshop work to combine 3 shots to give more smoke and put the genie in the bottle(Oooh. Arn't layer effects nice when you find the right one!! :-) ). Then a masked hue applied to change the blue smoke to purple.

Shh! You're not supposed to say the bit about photoshopping! :P
Ah... How much photography now uses photoshop. It sometimes scares me how much is used.
That is amazing! Brilliant idea and excellent execution!

Kirk Howard says:

Why did you use a Brolly-Box over a Softbox? I would you think you would want more directional light with the softbox?

Well Done. I think your work is amazing.

Bald Monk says:

Kirk - Cost mainly - brolly box is also easier to carry and move around.

I have a softbox now and so the brolly box doesn't get used as much - in fact the softbox is much better in refelctive subjects as you don't get the stand in front of the light source being refelcted.
