Insanitea

One shot, no montage. 2 weeks of work on the setup, though :-)

Great picture.
Btw, nobody asked how you are floating in air. Maybe you shoot it in spaceship without gravitation. :)
Oh I see, you probably lay down on something fixed at wall but not visible, right ?

Christophe Kiciak Thanks! Laying on something fixed to the wall would have been a possibility, but my wife would have killed me for drilling holes in the room's wall ;-)
For this one, I was wearing a harness system under my clothes, and a cable was attached to a metallic structure that I built around the frame. I simply cloned out the cable.

BlackSnake Oh yes, I got it now. Men you give me rely positive energy with your hard work. Regarding wife, my would kill me even if I build this metallic structure :D

I want to add: very stylish color choice.

Christophe, I respect that you did it in one shot! There are so many computer art now. Is hard to beleive in pictures. Therefore I respect work of Philippe Ramette a lot.

Beautiful shot & really creative!
I may have preferred the same background all over the frame avoiding the wooden background in the bottom. You must had deliberately kept it to add perspective but for me it's slightly distracting.

Great picture. Can you please give us more details. And when you say no montage, at least, the backgroud is not the original one? Or I really need to change my eyes.

Christophe Kiciak Thank you! As stated, no montage at all, the background is the original one. Details later ;-)

this tea party is right out of Alice in Wonderland! Incredible work, as always, Christophe.

Christophe Kiciak Thanks a lot Lev!

Awsome setup, I can't quite guess how you made the teacup float :-) Glue?

Christophe Kiciak Thank you! Glue alone would not be sufficient, I drilled holes in both the cup and the spoon, and a screw holds it all together. The thing wasn't very waterproof, so I regularly had hot tea flowing on my fingers... ouch ;-)

Peder Bang Mikkelsen Fantastic, that is real dedication to the craft :-) or as some say, no pain no gain *GG*
Super cool work

It´s magic, how can he do things like that ? ;-)

Une image qui décoiffe...., mais tellement bien faite qu'on a du mal à imaginer qu'une seule photo suffit pour obtenir un tel résultat, et pourtant .... Bravo !

Christophe Kiciak Merci Michel. Mes compétences en retouche étant ce qu'elles sont, j'arrive à de meilleurs résultats en m'échinant sur l'installation... Heureux que cela plaise :-)

Amazing!

Would like to see the setup. :)

Christophe Kiciak Thank you so much! I am going to explain the detailed setup in a while, but I would first like to use it with a few other shots.

Christiane Anna K. Looking forward to it. Both, new picture and the setup. :)
