Stunning and clever results. Need to find the perfect planet shots.
What do you think is wrong with the planet shots?
I think it’s very profound.
Try doing eyes and the deathstar!
Profound, yes. Somewhat interdimensional in nature? Trippy!
at first I was like oh damn bad cgi and then I was like…Amazing how well done. The photography I see here showcasing such beautiful moments in time and the amazing ability of water to refract and magnify is stunning.
Wonderful piece of work… hats off gentleman :-)
