Abstract- Water or Hellfire..C&C..

[aliyawar]

Here is another abstract from me..In this one I have tried to capture the dichotomy in this world which is most often produced by our own understanding....A simple veil of colors can transform the life-giving water into the lava from hell... I was trying to get this shot for a long time but couldn't get the exact shot until today...it is somehoh exactly how i thought it... here it is...

C&C please..

Your concept is very much appreciated. Even water which is the basis of life could turn hell fire if used with a bad end.... I see Mother earth puffing out Her fire of anger!!!

Great concept! Care to talk about how you did this? Kind of looks like water with a slash of oil... which would be a more concrete dichotomy within your conceptual one

Thanks..the concept here is really good..but I think I could've done better than this...This was the only shot I got that was even half-equal to the shot I had in my mind ..I will try my hands at it one more time..

Yes..I tried oil first but it didn't give me any good shot...then i used an old mug with greasing on its sides (it is not technically oil,is it??)and put it beneath a tap and turned the tap on ,on almost full speed...I shot this one in natural lighting..(it was an overcast foggy day)...I tried to use the flash but it didn't work..so I thought the whole postprocessing process in my head..and just took the shot in natural lighting with as much clarity as I could get without caring too much about the bright and dull areas.. then I heavily increased the saturation and contrast and played with curves and levels a bit..other than use a vibration filter 3 times on multiple levels with various blend modes.. then I added an orange colour filter over the image to give it the fiery look..shutter speed was 1/200...here is the original setup(actually it is just the original shot)without any post processing..I got these kind of splashes after trying for more than 1 hour.. I was just going for the right kind of splashes without bothering too much about anything else..the grease and dust helped me to create the feary mood I wanted to create..here it is...
