I have had this shot in my head for some time and always knew it was going to be more about the edit rather than just taking a picture…I also knew that I would have to take two shots to achieve this picture and I really did not want to take two shots, I wanted to take one shot and have a quick edit. 

I spent a few days trying to figure how I would get the camera to look like it was floating mid air…eventually I used the camera strap and wore it round my neck, as you do…this did work and I manage to put my neck down a little and it bought the camera down…however I needed the camera to stick out a bit so it was away from my body…my genius friend gave my two magnetic strips…I opened the screen out and rotated it so it was pointing towards me….attached the strips and used a magnet from a fridge magnet and stuck it on the strips which then stuck to my belt buckle…Like I said genius friend!!!

I then used to rubber bands to tie the lights to my hands so I could have them open…I did not want to have to long of an exposure as I knew my hands would move, so I turned the ISO up to 500, F13 and had it for 1 second.

I cloned the straps and rubber bands off in PS and also added the small flares, I wanted an orb round the camera but it did not look right so I kept the flares to a minimum. I then took back into lightrooms and decreased the contrast and clarity, I used the spilt toning to adjust the colour and increased the yellow luminance a bit and finally added a bit of vignetting.
