Sliced, Sun Mar 11, 2007, 4:38:35 PM, 8C, 6000x8000, (0+0), 100%, bent 6 stops, 1/30 s, R107.2, G74.3, B91.5

Shot on the Cambo 4x5/Better Light Super-6K. Fujinon-W 150mm, f/8, heavy use of shifts and tilts due to limited depth of field. Impossible elements added in Lightwave and composited in Photoshop CS2.

This image has been in my head for a long time, bothering me, trying to get out. Finally I've killed it so maybe I can sleep now. Yes, it's nearly 5am, but there was no way I was going to be able to sleep before I'd finished the final comp.

ETA: I've written this project up as a 'making-of' essay here, if anyone's interested.
