This technique has been used when I photographed the Saturn V rocket, but I tried to improve it a bit. Firstly, it's great that the set includes a launch tower, which really enhances the overall look. Secondly, I took it outside (of course, there were no spectacular clouds at that moment...), so it got more natural light. For the lighting of the cotton, I used not only flash but also continuous light this time. I elevated the rocket with a plastic box and two shot glasses under the boosters. Both of them let the light through. The mosquitoes almost ate me alive, but I think it was worth it, what do you think? :)) If you like my work, you can see more, on my IG: benedek.lampert

Oh ye, the smell of movie practical effects is strong with this one.

Awesome work!!

At first glance the main photo was indistinguishable from a real rocket launch. Amazing stuff man - I'm looking at your other stuff too, equally impressive!
