''Breaking Tradition''

Picture in your mind a `witches hat', the brim is black an opaque, and

the cone is a print, formed into a deep cone.

Now, evenly light the cone from outside and shield the lights so that

the only light on the print comes through it... none from the open end.

Place a large lens about a third of the way back into the cone.

Shoot at a high aperture to maintain DOF.

That is essentially what I did here... just all done on my laptop.

Much easier, Much faster, Less Mess and greater control over the results.
