"Wet day in Dublin"

Hi you blogger readers!

We ware a bit bored yesterday in our Studio. So we ware playing around with some ideas.
So we got around to make this one of me. We called it "Wet day in Dublin" See below how we set it up to get the final shot.
The Original Shot:

The bobble effect:

The final image:


Shot in our Studio with 3 Elinchrome Studio Strobes. 2 Strobes with 2 small soft boxes to rim light me @ f8 each = f16 and 1 strobe with a large octal soft box directly over my camera to fill in the face and the rest @ f11 (Week power to get a better affect) This was shot as a RAW file on a Canon 5D f11 @ Shutter Speed 200 and ISO @ 100

Edited in Photoshop CS4 as a Smart Object. And Masked out the background as well as my feet and hands. Used my paint brush and selected water effect in the paint brush toolbar and painted in the water where my feet and hands should have been. Now I changed the background colour to gradient blue. Made this background layer to be underneath the layer of me "jumping in the air". I also added some bubbles to the background as a new layer on top of the blue. Change the blending mode to "Overlay" and the opacity to 29 so you can see the bubbles with the colour blue. Bob's your Uncle the image is final!
