Theme Week - Your Personal Favorite Photo
Description: "Demon of the Deep"

It was a challenge to only pick one image as my favorite photo.  Looking back through my old shots, this one from 2012 stood out to me.  I'm still amazed that I was able to convincingly simulate an underwater shot without any photoshopping.   The secret was a small piece of green cling wrap placed between the camera and the figure.  A strategically placed desk lamp provided the lighting.  I've tried to repeat this process but have not always had success since then.  It is very fiddly.

I may have to post a few runner up shots, it was so hard to choose just one.

It took me a minute to realize this wasn't underwater.  Just an amazing job of creating the effect.  Plus, the posing on the figure really sells it.

This is fantastic. It really bring to mind The Creature from the Black Lagoon, which is perfect for the Hydro-Vipers.

Great stuff, I remember this one! I often look back fondly on that 2009-2013 era, things weren't perfect, but there was an excitement about things.

It's fun looking through the archives, I want to see your runners up, I have a few myself.
