Well done

Thank you Friiskiwi ! This picture is a recent souvenir of a trip in south africa.

Very nice. Might play with curves a little bit

This is such an awesome painting, I just wish it wasn't angled so hard. The gilded frame dominates the image, rather than the painting itself.

Re-submitted with a softer angle...It's so hard to justify a straight on entry, but this is hopefully better. I think that frame is also from 1935.

Very C R E A T I V E

Thank you! There was a lot of trial and error in figuring out ISO, shutter speed and such.

Great idea ... Just a little thing to say : The two people on the ground shouldn't have been cuted. You should have include them entirely in the frame.

too late to fix it. It was a tough shoot. The guy playing the guitar had to move to the ground within the 30 seconds, after the music notes were painted.

NICE !! IMPRESSIVE TO THE MAX !! !! how did ya keep the 3 subjects motionless during the 30 seconds ?? and were all the notes "painted" by one person during the 30 seconds ??

and is the guy watching the guitar player also the guitar player? also why is the girls leg transparent ?? this is one freaky piece of visual art indeed. good luck on this

Is this a true photo or is it photoshopped? Trying to figure out how you did that. lol

Nope, its not photoshopped. Kinda nice to have confused a few with this. What we did was use a timer with an open shutter. While the shutter was open we had a person in charge of the flashlights, one would paint over the guy playing the guitar. we would then turn off the flashlight and paint the music notes, and finally, once they were done, we had the guitar player and his wife sit down and we ran the light over them. The legs weren't supposed to be transparent however any movement or too much light could have caused this. I assure everyone, its one photo, taken at one time.

Also the subjects only needed to remain motionless while the light was on.

tried to make single person appear at two or three places in a single pic using long exposure, but never got it such excellent contrast and sharpness of both the instances. Perfect lighting and exposure. Nice Work....
