[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
In order to take this picture I proceeded in two steps. Firstly I took a picture of my son's x-ray showing his hand. To do that, I put the x-ray flat on the windows and just made a shot with my Nikon camera (using Kodachrome 64 film). Then when I had this picture processed I put it in a slide projector. I projected the silde on a dark wall (the wall was painted with dark brown colour). By the wall I had a table on which I put a tennir ball. I painted the tennis ball with fluorescent green paint. I also had a fluorescent orange tape that I put around. The whole thing was lighted using a black light tube (like those lights used in disco-clubs). I put my camera on a tripod to take that picture using a slow speed.

Beautiful!
Have you ever seen Tron? It's a twenty something year old movie, from Disney. This photo reminded me of visual concept of that movie, same kind os fluorescent light. Especially the red circles.
Very nice shot, Amazing how you had all that work to get this idea done. Did you imagine it like this from the beggining?
Very creative, really.

Definitely very creative Francois! What a great idea, and it must have taken you a long time to capture this image! Great colours and composition.

C'est très bien fait et plein de créativité ... bravo !
J'aime le fluo et l'effet rendu par la lumière noire.

Excellent composition! It's a shame... I have 2 black light too, and just use it one time! it's very creative... to use the hand in x-ray... At first look the bones look ok.. but i'm not a doctor :o)

Mais c'est génial, quelle idée! Et quelle réalisation, je suis agréablement surpris pour ne pas dire plus! Si je le dis: soufflé! Bravo! Claude

Excellent, Great job, a good idea for me to have a go with my x-ray too, :) I like it a lot. Thanks for sharing.

Photo tres "électrique"...La composition originale et ce "vert" font de cette prise un "incontournable" pour la vue...
Bravo tres bien!!!
