The post-production is fairly easy and there is not much to do if the shot is prepared well. I sometimes stamp out some drops of paint flying around and disturbing the entire composition or some areas where the background is not 100% black or white. Apart from that, I apply only some exposure correction or level adjustment and some sharpening. Voila, that’s it.
Though I tried to cover all aspects of the paint sculpture shooting, I probably forgot something or was not very precise at some parts. If you have any questions, just post them in the comment section and I will try to answer them. The most important thing about these images is the fun in making them. All these setups can take a while and it can get quite frustrating to always clean up the balloon and prepare the next shot just for a process of picture taking that lasts well below one second. Especially, when I am experimenting with the trigger or the sound settings, it often happens that I set up everything correctly and just forgot one thing or the trigger doesn’t fire, so I end up flecked in paint and without a usable picture. Just remember: it’s all about the fun. And one more thing: put on some old clothes and cover all sensitive carpets or computers around.
