Drops of Art*

*Art Carney that is. This really needs to be viewed large. Again, I placed a magazine (an old 1950's Reader's Digest) in my garden upside down behind some water drops. But this time I fiddled with the depth of field so the background showed up more clearly and better demonstrates how refractions work for the slowly developing tutorial. And I love the expression of Art Carney who played sewer-worker Ed Norton opposite Jackie Gleason on the Honeymooners.

OK, the last thing I need now to finish the tutorial is a volunteer model to stand upside down in my garden so I can post a photo titled "drops of nude". Any takers.....? Anyone? Anyone at all.........

Yes definitely more genial than Billy. Nice touch the change of DOF to show the source. As regards that last shot needed for the tutorial - the drops of nude, I think we're all agreed it has to be a self portrait!

Frankly, at first I thought I WAS looking at a nude in this photo when I saw the background in the thumbnail!! What does the fact that I went ahead and opened it tell you?!?

Being upside down would probably be more of an enhancement for a male nude than a female, IMHO. Just a thought... =))

Jeff Clow says:

Very, VERY clever use of the background, Steve...and a truly fine result.

My sincere compliments again....
