#Wood

The once mighty volcano Mount Crayon, erupting frequently, now seems to be extinct. Or is it only dormant, and its magma chamber holds some future surprises?

Well, this pretty much sums up this image (and also my drawing activities which have been dormant for a long time now): It's only half of what I had originally envisioned for our "Wood" theme. Because (of course) I wanted to depict an active volcano, maybe with a lava stream and some smoke. But... I ran out of time (of course) and I also wasn't sure how to make the smoke appear as if it came right out of the volcanic crater/conduit. Red wax could have served as lava but the smoke... Well, this is definitely something I will keep in mind for our Redux (or maybe Redo) theme at the end of the year, so stay tuned for Mount Crayon's mighty comeback ;)

It kind of broke my heart to break off the crayon's tip/lead but if I wanted to have something that looked like a volcano, I had no choice because none of the numerous, long unused pencils and crayons lying around in boxes around the house already had a broken lead.

I placed a gold-coated paper cake board behind the crayon and illuminated it with yellow light from the right to get the golden half of the background, and I held the small LED flashlight equipped with a small pink semi-transparent lid (of a SodaStream gas cylinder) above it to create the pink highlights (which I hoped would give the impression of some lava or heat but...). To get the entire volcanic crater sharp I did focus bracketing with 55 images that I combined in Helicon Focus (Method A, Radius 7, Smoothing 7). Processed in LR (the basics) and in Colour Efex (Detail Extractor filter applied on the crayon only).

HMM, Everyone! (I will catch up with you a little later.)

Zooming and rotate the camera at the same time.
