One Night in Bangkok

Sometimes you get a photo in your head, and you can't move past it till you take the shot. I thought this idea was a bit silly to be honest, a chess set at an oblique angle. Originally I was going to have a clock, and a hand in frame preparing to manipulate a piece, but as the photo evolved I began deconstructing the scene. Removed the boring lights, used my new RGB lights to fill, and trace lines. Smacked the hand away, and filled the scene with vapor... It wasn't exactly easy getting the components to mesh well, adjusting camera angle, how much vapor I wanted. I think in the end, I took a fairly generic photo and put a different spin on it.

 

ISO: 500

Apeture: f2

SS: 1/15th

Focal: 56mm

 

This is my first real test of both my 56mm portrait lens, and my RGB lights I bought for light painting purposes. How'd it come out?
