JRN 420: Painting with light

Heineken Light is a light beer which has been launched to United States in 2006. The calories of this light beer is only 99 calories and it comes with 3.2% alcohol by volume. This product has provided a low calorie alcohol alternative to drinkers.

I clicked on the shutter and then put the LED light into the water and took it out slowly to make the bubbles inside the bottle more obvious. After that, I used a pink glow stick to draw on the background to create a feel of mystery. I came out with this idea as i was trying to be creative to make an advertisement for the Heineken beer

I also tried to use a cigarette to create the smoky effect on some other shots. However, it did not turn out great and the smoke could not be seen on the photos.

CMU senior, Tze Lin Low, feels upset and angry because she has lost her limited edition England national soccer team's bottle which she bought in her mother country, Malaysia.

Yes, I lost my England soccer team's bottle last week in Moore 424, and I have been looking for it everywhere. I used a LED light to draw the bottle shape (believe me, it looks like a bottle!!!) and the "angry effect". I used two pocket wizards (one on the camera and one on the strobe) and set the self-timer to 10 seconds so that the strobe could work together with the camera. I wore the England team jacket because I thought it could help me to tell you all how much I love the England team and in the meanwhile how much I was hurt when I lost my bottle.
p/s Did you see a red bottle with a little England flag in Moore 424? Leave a comment here or tell me after class, Thank you!!!

Tze Lin, I love the concept of your second image. I am so sorry you still haven't found it! I think you did a good job drawing the smoke out of your ears, but it would have been sweet if you used a red gel over the light.

Hey Tze Lin, cool idea with the first photo and really making those bubbles stand out. I also like the concept of the second image. It would be neat to fill in the smoke so it was all white and maybe use a different color for the bottle to separate the smoke from the object, but I still think you did well. It's tricky painting with light! Good job!

Tze-Lin,
Pretty color in the first pic—great concept in the second. Your thought in building a composition was impressive. Well-written also...fantastic job.
