Behind The Lens

Location
Took that photo in the dark, with a single LED bulb as light source.
Time
The time of the day? when I was sober enough to take photos.
Lighting
With only one single LED bulb there isn't much to say about lighting.
Equipment
tripod, D3, remote control.
Inspiration
My nightmares.
Editing
There is obviously a shitload of post processing. Some of the arms where shot in multiple exposures in camera, all was composited in post, added grain, contrast and black and white.
In my camera bag
I don't care about equipment anymore.
Feedback
Don't.
