Challenge: Oil (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Canon EOS-5D
Lens: Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM
Location: studio
Date: Aug 1, 2009
Aperture: 13
ISO: 100
Shutter: 200
Galleries: Black and White
Date Uploaded: Aug 2, 2009

 Set up camera on tripod. Used 2 speedlights for light. One on camera, to light hands. One low and behind hands, to light oil droplets. An interval timer was used, as my hands were covered in black face paint. So no touching the camera, till I was done. A bucket was placed below my hands, to catch the messy cooking oil. Also served as a basin, to scoop up the oil with my hands. Opening of the hands at the rite time was the challenge. It worked out great!
Image was flipped upside down in iphoto. Also removed a few loose oil drops. Resized. No other adjustments applied.

Thanks everyone for the great support and comments! I am truly pleased with the result of 16th. Just fun, trying to go against the advanced editing crowd. Yeah, without any advanced editing! Priceless!

Underrated in my opinion. I think this should easily have been in top 10.
