forked

i know I've done this before, but it kind of needed to happen... if not for the kitchenalia thing (which this is too late for), then at least for the shadow technique thing...

this is backlit... with a piece of paper between the chess piece and forks and the camera... what you are seeing are the shadows projected (?) onto the piece of paper from behind...

[Brigette]

Invasion of the forks! Brilliant!

Yes!!! Fav!!!!!

[Mona]

Cool, I like this technique very much. But my pictures are never so fabulous. I also like that it is a little bit creepy. Could right be out of a nightmare.

[Pam Knowler]

Fabulous image! Thanks for the info! Fav!

[Jonathan Darrell]

Very Berlin 1930s feel, reminds me of Nosferatu a bit. Eerie and wonderfuly processed. Fav!

Magnificent! Damn creative - well done! Fav - of course.

A great shot. I like the way the forks look so large and dominating - quite scary. Wel done.

Interesting technique. I'll file that idea away for future reference...now how did you get the forks to stand up?

[Mike Gifford]

Worth it for the title alone, v cool shot

[☠northy]

@gardencat tx :). I stuck the forks in play d'oh... But it took waaaaay more play d'oh than it should have for the plastic forks!

[Islandgirl]

Cool staging and edit!!
Love your b&w shots Northy!

[Simply Amanda]

Very cool and clever!

[Yeshanghai]

Cool shot

[Sally Ings]

Very creative, the forks look quite menacing.

[Joanne Diochon]

@northy Thanks for the answer. I was thinking maybe something like that florist foam stuff but it seemed like it would take a lot of that to fix that many forks.

[☠northy]

@gardencat actually- florist foam would probably be a great solution... I doubt you'd need a piece bigger than 8x8 inches

[Clare Gadsby]

Very cool

[Andy Mcculloch]
