New image: Versus
sean mcclelland
[04] When I first captured the image that would become Versus, I thought it was a failure. The smoke wasn't flowing right, and the lighting was all wrong. I should have deleted it. But I didn't. Eighteen months later, after a random idea occurred to me as I was laying awake in bed, I opened it with Photoshop and started... messing with it. What you see below is a result of this planned accident. It turned out so well, that I plan to create a series incorporating the same techniques. Stay tuned for more in this series.
[Edit, this experiment did lead to a new style and collection, shown here. And it all started when I attended a free Flickr group meeting, during which I learned to basics of smoke photography. Never miss an opportunity to learn new things!]
