Challenge # 69 (comments please)

Splash



I'm working on a few other concepts but so far I've not been able to get a good capture. So far this is the best I've got.

Let me be honest with you - and I have a photo in the challenge - and let me tell that this is not the ideia a turbulence I have.
This is more like a splash.
A turbulence is a state of mind or physical where things get around...
Difficult as I am not a man of litteratures...
No hard feelings OK ?
A tornado is good example.
Of course there can be turbulence with sand - get your camera with dust - with dancing the tango.
Ye ! great ideia. The turbulence of the skirt. Yes. That's it !
See the skirts around blurred, round ?
Under a fantastic light ? Lots of colors ?
Well, with these tips you are going to win and I am going to loose. :cry

Thanks Antonio.

Got a new one to add to the mix. Now I'm torn.

Turbulense is somehow like turmoil.
The smoke from the cigarette doesn't look disturbed, in trouble somehow...
Tip: The turbulense of smoke caused by a fan.

if the smoke was undisturbed it would be one thin wisp. Your understanding of the concept might be skewed.

This would be much easier if I was not allergic to smoke.

Sayntbrigid - Thanks, now I'm really torn. I too love the colors in that shot. I guess I need more votes as to which pic to choose as my final entry.

rosselliot - I used a bit of trickery. I had the cig on a paperclip that was bent to position the cig. I stuck it into a large candle that was out of frame. The whole thing was shot against a black backdrop using only natural light. I then PS'd the image using seperate layers to adjust the smoke and the cig and remove the paperclip as well as any of the backdrop details that were visible.

And one more possible entry...though it's not nearly as good as the other lightning entry.

What about this?

It's a cool concept. You might consider getting some shots of the evening news instead. Lots more turbulence there, unfortunately. Just a thought.
