2.49 - "Needs Work" 

A client wanted to have a photograph of his cars that works well with the flame design. So we realized this photograph with a long exposure during the blue hour with a 2,5 meter high burning rope in the background. (an assistant walked with it thru the background). We created the reflection on the ground with over 200 Liters of water and used a strobe to illuminate the cars. The fire, the reflection, and the strobe images were then put together in Affinity photo.

Photography can be so much fun, watched the hole process and I wish I could get pay to do really cool stuff like this, amazing job, very professional

Thanks a lot. There was so much to figure out for this shoot. But I was very happy with the end result. This little picture does not justice when you see it printed on a Kodak metallic paper in a nice frame. I did also a second shoot with a couple like that one - for that one I build a pond in my garden, to get a better reflection.
