This Picture is available as Photo Print, Canvas on Stretcher, Framed Picture, Glass Print and Wall Paper.

One photo, one exposure, no composite. A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.... It is a period of financial crisis. Due to budget cuts, the evil Galactic Empire is getting weaker, day after day. Rebel spaceships, striking from a hidden base, are regularly winning battles. The evil lord Darth Vader, seeing his end getting close, gathers his strengths, for the last battle. As the exceptional podracer pilot he always was, he decides to ride the very last experimental machine constructed by the Empire's best engineers. However, the insidious recession got there too, and things are not going as expected.... Yes, I am shamelessly having too much fun. I really hope I will manage to put some smiles on some faces with that photo. Technically, it was a pain to obtain that result in one shot. In a nutshell, I constructed a structure around Vader, so that I could hang him to it using fishing lines. Of course, the whole thing had to be relatively light, so that it could be installed anywhere. Here is a little list (probably non comprehensive) of items used in that shot: - 4 long metallic bars (measuring 2 meters each) - Screws and bolts, in order to attach bars together two by two and construct two 4 meters long bars - A rope, to link the two 4 meters bars at their top, and create an horizontal line over the scene - Some fishing line, strong enough to resist the weight of Vader and his podracer - A Darth Vader suit, that I stuffed with random fabric I had around (I had to buy the suit for the occasion) - Planks of wood, to construct the oars - Some paint for the oars - Motorbike gloves for Vader's hands - Of course, a large cardboard box - Lots of duct tape and various wood pieces, in order to fix Vader and the oars in the box A first try was made by my wife and me. It failed miserably: holding everything in place was too hard for the two of us. Fortunately, we were supposed to visit my parents this week, so I charged the car with all that stuff and took everything there. My parents were very kind, and accepted to help us. In fact, I believe they find it quite funny too ;) That second try went much better: my dad was holding one of the 4 meter vertical bar (left side), while my wife and my mum were holding the other one (right side). I believe I had the easiest task with my camera taking photos: the structure proved to be heavy, as the podracer was pulling it towards the middle. The wind was also an enemy, but in the end we managed to get a few good shots. Back at home, I quickly processed one of them (by cloning out the fishing lines and adjusting the colors a bit), and that was it. I won't hide that I am very happy about the result. A big special thanks to my wife and my parents for their great help.
