The Mad Scientist - 40/365
My aunt stuck this little guy on my holiday gift this year. I was going to float him in the swimming pool and try shooting him there, but the girl suggested that he would float away and I would not be in a position to retrieve him at 10 pm and wearing street clothes. She had a blue glowstick that I floated in the bathroom sink instead. Based on the amount of floating away he did there, the girl was very right about mobility. I also had to tape two dollar coins to the bottom of him to make him stay upright.
This is a 10 second exposure and I hand-held a flashlight to give the above water portions some highlighting for about 2-3 seconds, using the patented "cover the flashlight with your hand" method of lighting control.
I messed with the white balance after the fact.
And that's your guerrilla (gorilla perhaps more accurately) school of trick photography lesson for today.
