About Had this composition in mind from sometime, around 6 months, finally I got to put it in action, Thanks to Khaled Moursi Hammoud.

The fire is not a PS trick, it is completely a camera trick, 25sec exposure, Zippo Lighter, two burns ;)

But I am ok, no need to send me cards or chocolate :)

PS only used to add some dramatic effects.
Hope you like it,
Btw .. if you wonder what does Necroscope means, just google it,
Special thanks for my wife having to live with a mad man like me, joining me in my hobbies, making it much more fun ;)
Technical Info:
Tv( Shutter Speed ) 25
Av( Aperture Value ) 29
ISO Speed 800
Hope you like it, Regards,

Ha ha ha Ameed, that's why you are advising me to go to a Gym :0)
Actually I don't go frequently coz I'm so busy all the day in work till midnight but I have my own mini Gym at my home and I do some weight lifting too at home :0)
Very creative PS work as usual my friend, God bless you and your wife ,
Khaled.

Hi Ameed,

you're really a freaky light paint guy ;-)

very devilish, if you may ask me =)

Thilo


Ameed El-Ghoul   {K:42188} 6/9/2005
Trust me I know how is it being very busy, I am working 10 hours shift 2 to midnight, which sometimes changes without a previous notice, this what kills my time, but I still manage to make it to the gym, sometimes I sleep at 3 am and wake up at 9 to go to the gym. I once had a mini gym at home, but I didn't find it quiet useful, there is nothing like the atmosphere of the gym with the sound of iron clinking :)

Btw .. Thanks you for giving me the chance to put this idea into action, this is for the TC :) with 25sec shutter speed ;)
Regards,


Ameed El-Ghoul   {K:42188} 6/9/2005
Not a Devil .. a Necroscope :)


Ameed El-Ghoul   {K:42188} 6/9/2005
LoL Thilo, I like reading horror fiction, so far it had affected loots of my work lol
Thanks for your kind comment, Regards,


Ozjan Yeshar   {K:18598} 6/9/2005
Fabulous work Ameed but I would rather to add more mystery to the picture by changing the background. What you could do is select a wall of old Egyptian Pharos walls for example and try it again. Great creativity brother! Cheers.


Ameed El-Ghoul   {K:42188} 6/9/2005
I totally agree with you Ozjan, If I to do it the best way I can, I would apply what you said, select a different background, and I would ware something different lol, maybe Pharaoh costume :)
But by doing that, this hobby would become very expensive for me hehehhehehe
This is my bedroom, and I was actually setting on my knees on bed, I didn't find better place to do it, my house is full of furniture and this caused me a huge problem,
Maybe one day I might do a small studio in my house .. lol But I have to get the house first,
Appreciate your honest opinion :)
Don't miss my UseFilm Error upload, it will give you a good laugher brother ..
Cheers,

nice shot, i like the two little fire horns coming out of his head


Ameed El-Ghoul   {K:42188} 6/9/2005
Thanks Sion, You have a sensitive eyes for details, I thought no one would notice them, thanks for your kind comment, Regards,


Fadel J   {K:13605} 6/10/2005
Great technique that created this funny image Ameed! I agree about the background, anything but not the bedroom :)


Salvatore Rossignolo   {K:13547} 6/10/2005
Cool trick Ameed!

Carolyn Wiesbrock   {K:14051} 6/10/2005
This is hot..nice effect!


Saqib Zulfiqar   {K:2770} 6/10/2005
This is the first time I've seen something created like this. Full marks for creativity. Am not really sure about the background though.... Why dont you try one of those saved dramatic skies ;)


Ameed El-Ghoul   {K:42188} 6/10/2005
Hehehehe,
Saqib, Your comments always give me a good laugh :)
Maybe I will repeat this try once again, as I said it was a try, out of 50 long exposer shots, I've got almost 1 that meets my taste, Next time I will do it with a black background :)

About the sky :) too much PS work for one picture, beside, I still suffer from the 2 burns in my hand :)

Salam and thanks for your kind comment,


Maria José Barres   {K:11276} 6/10/2005

Thanks Inji for your kindness,
I am really glad you liked it and that you think it might win :) I am honored :)
Still waiting for your submission, give it a try,
Regards my dear,

Hey Ahmeed,

Don't look now, but you're on fire!

Great use of a long exposure. Was it your wife that moved the Zippo around? Very creative stuff.

My only gripe would be about the background, which I think is a bit distracting.

Regards,
Angelo.


Ameed El-Ghoul   {K:42188} 6/15/2005
You are 100% right Angelo,
I've done this experiment in my bedroom lol, used the PS a little to dim the background, I wasn't expecting much from that experiment, but it turned out just fine :)
Hopefully I will try it again with different background and lighting, and of course with different outfit .. lol
Yes dear It was my wife who held the zippo and moved it around me, she was so patient that day, I think we had to take the picture over 50 times till we got the right one ...
Thanks once again for your kind comment,
Cheers,
