graduation reflections
notes:
I wanted to photograph my wife Lyla in a unique and memorable way. So brainstormed and come up with a unique techique. I got a portrait of her done by a pro . Then I placed a window screen about 12 inches over the portrait then sprayed water droplets on to screen. I then took an extreme close up using the reverse lens. I had all sorts of problems getting this result from water droplets popping. It was very frustating to focus as depth of feild was so razor thin. Also finding a screen where the wire was not extremely crooked. This image has earnet me the most money and garners a lot of attention. f22@8seconds 25asa slides.I f you look closely at this image you will notice Lylas face in the background upside down. Also many different focal lenghts of her face in droplets.
