My first attempt at the Thanos Effect
To get this image I half filled a fish tank with water and had the LSH create waves by dragging a chopping board from one side to the other.
The light bulb was placed on a white perspex to create the reflections. Both images were photographed against a white background which was lit by two flash guns. There was also another speedlight with a large diffuser over my right shoulder.
Then started the hard work to combine them in Photoshop, adding a blue colour to the waves, making sure I got the right shadows, highlights and reflections on the bulb, and cloning out the hundreds of stray bubbles!
