    I had to shoot this at ISO 3,200 as I only had ambient to work with.

    So then I smoothed the noise in LR3 (Which is great, really really amazing software) and then added some mock film grain which is a bit prettier than noise and for all intents and purposes fits this I think.

    I think you may need to go back into photoshop, I can still see the wires.

    Jesus thats funny! Do you find it so hard to believe I threw a camera in the air? I can upload the 50 or so pictures it took before I got it right if you wish?

    Not that I don't believe you (no reason to doubt you!) but just very curious now to see some of the "Fails". Think they could result in some funny shots?

    I'll upload a few to photobucket, mostly just the sink and walls in the shots.

    I'll probably have nightmares about my camera smashing into a sink, thanks. Great result though.

    Great idea! I love the end result too. I would never try it though, I am too clumsy and would drop my camera for sure.

    i keep meaning to source a cheap old compact with a self-timer and taking photos with it, hurling it into the air.

    Nice one! You could flip horizontally to get rid of the mirror image.

    I tried that, it just looked weird for some reason.

    Edit: After fixing the crop it looks miles better!

    A bit risky there young Jay throwing your good camera up to catch the shot, while looking in the mirror and then focusing on the camera again to grab it :eek:. Have you tried the circus :D.
    Well done!
