I wore a disposable glove from B&Q.
Used a squarelight with a blue gel on the left and a snooted light with a yellow gel behind and to the right.
The background is a sheet of opal perspex lit from behind with a filter made of clingfilm and about twenty gel swatches botched together.
cheers

Nice one Dave. Really creepy Hammer Horror stuff, evil doctor/nurse scenario.
Cracking lighting!
Must try something like this when I have time.
Just one small technical niggle. How can you have a jet of liquid from the needle, when there is an air bubble on top of the fluid in the syringe?
Photoshopped?

Really like this shot. It is the contrasting colours that really make it for me. However, I can't help feeling that there is too much space around the syringe and hand - it is a shame they are not larger in the frame. Otherwise, nice shot.
Stephen - space is left around the subject to allow text to be placed,
Camera club mentality is to fill the canvas with subject.
To sell images is a different matter; the subject has to be placed in such a way that it can be used as a layout to include text without covering the subject.
Good point about the space for the text.
I'll have to take your word on the camera club mentality, I've never been part of one.
Cheers,
Steve.
Stephen, just a rider on the "camera club mentality"...I left one some years ago because of the cliquey way they behaved. Ask one how a pic was achieved and you got only a nod and a wink, no useful info. I think it's brilliant of Dave to be so open with his help, after all it's his living!
Dave - As it is your hand holding the syringe -how have you managed to keep it so still?
I couldn't imagine being able to hold a syringe in a gloved hand still long enough for a photo!!
