I have started to experiment with ice and how to make the most out of it, I have found out that ice actually photographs very well especially on a dark surface, i did try it on a white on and as you can see (one of the photos) it just didn't work, but i also feel if i put too much light onto the ice then it will not look right, low-ki lighting may be what i need to fulfill the ices potential.
^ This one was without a flash and works quite well but the odd colour really throws me off, obviously i could fix that in photoshop but i would prefer it to do as much as i could in the photography stage and not the post production.
^ These two have been experimented with a flash and i think it makes the ice look beautiful, the light brings out all the reflective qualities within the ice its self without reflecting much else such as the one without the flash.
^ I tried it upon a white surface at home just to get a jist of how it would look i was intrigued with how the light played off it from the flash so i thought a white background would compliment it well, but in practicality it just does not work at all, its like complete overkill on the senses too bright, I know if i done this properly the lines of the tiles would not be present but i am still quite sure that it would still not work on a pure white background.
^ Close up of the ice, i am quite sure this wouldn't work for my cigarette idea but it's still quite a nice effect, maybe could be used in aid of digitally putting the cigarettes in the ice
I feel that i will be able to archive the 'Blowing hot and cold' quite nicely now all i need are some of the cigarette and some finals of the ice (which i have in the fridge at home waiting for me to go take some more pictures of them, i might even try drilling into on of them and placing the cigarette inside.)
Tomorrow i have planned to get my Silence is deafening one complete or atleast the photography part done, i have a friend of mine modeling for me, i will update this tomorrow when i have some test shots.
Until tomorrow, toodles.

I wonder if i would be able achieve the same effect with normal non-flash high-ki lighting?
