Balance is Beautiful...

I have recently seen a few pictures in explore of people placing rocks on top of each other and in various locations, I really liked this idea and wanted to try my own version and plus it gave me a really good excuse to play with my rocks…lol

 

The setup…Like my previous picture I used foil in the background to create my Bokeh. This time I scrunched up the foil and had lots of small little creases, which gave me a smaller Bokeh. I used a torch again to light the background with a blue gel.

 

I placed the rocks on my table (I forgot to wipe the table down and you can see my finger prints on in…lol). The rocks are actually white but because I used a incandescent torch this does not show…but I do like how the incandescent torch changed the colour of the stones gave it a warmer feel.

 

I was really happy how the picture turned out but felt like something was missing, so I decide to add some text, originally I was going to add 'Insert zen quote' but as much as I found that funny, it did not sit right with the picture, so I went for balance is beautiful instead for a personal reason.

 

Just decreased the blacks, shadows and highlights in LR. I used PS to create the text, again I used the overlay blend mode and added a outer glow to the text.

 

For those who asked about the Foil, this is where I got it from www.diyphotography.net/el-bokeh-wall
