Great picture TJ. That white (wizard ?) fella on the bridge sure has a glow in his spirit or is it his all powerful staff ?

Dearest Rasputin  :wave:

It is a compliment paid from one Frenchman to another  :yup:!!!

Translation :

Exquisitely mysterious...subtle mix of shadows and lights...the silhouette of a castle or maybe a dunjon in the background reminds us that Halloween is not too far away...

I cannot wait to see more TJ !!!

Hi,

all right, thanks a lot for all commentaries. I´m happy you like it and they motivate me to show more photographies about this small diorama. I will show you too with some pictures, how I made this system of light , like a small "making of". It´s not a first time I use this. Some of us can maybe remerber a picture "A magic swort"?

First a another picture of dioram where I add a smok. The picture is first free of any work with photo-programm (I add just a ring). I like to try this art of "work", because it need to reflect different about a result and exactly what you try to show before and during I made a pic.

And now how I made... I hope that a pictures are clear enough to don´t have to much to explain.

Beetween 2 plates of wood, I put a piece of plastic (to difuse a light) and a place of glas. The stones come after how I imagine a diorama.

After come a sand everywhere to hide a plastic, glas and wood plate.

A threes and green accessories...

And I try a first shot just to see if the size of diorma is not too large or too small.

Now, I´ve just to put out a sand where a light have to be.

View below the table...

This light help me to give a effect I want. I can control how many light I need with a potentiometer. I can change a color of light with color filters.

I love seeing how you put this together.  The elements are so simple (glass, bubble-wrap, wood, sand) but the final result is complex and beautiful!

Great ideas  :wow:! I agree with using actual smoke, fire, & fog for your pictures, it gives it a deeper feeling not using computer enhanced pictures! For example, I have always enjoyed FireChiefs photo stories using actual fire  :o! You can also leave the creation set up for an extended period of time, & it looks just like the pictures do  :)9!

Thanks for showing how you make your projects come to life . I am guessing the smoke came from the candles you blew out ?

The ring you mentioned is it in the blue ice cage ?
