it was not above ground... simple setup... i think it was because of the lighting...

[drumma]

nice. care to share ur lighting techniques for this photo?

[benedium]

it sure looks like only the top of the phone is on the ground and the bottom off the ground. Look like you put some blutack underneath leh...

i assure you, I did not use blutack or anything at all... I guess the fluorescent lamp was too strong (notice that the colours of the corner of the phone seemed burnt?) this was a 'lucky' shot

Hi yanyewkay,

Thanks but like I mentioned before, this was a 'lucky' shot.

Tried again but did not achieve the same effect... must try it again when I have the time. Attached below is a photo of the simple setup.

A correction to my earlier post of the rough sketch for the setup, the camera should be in horizontal position and not held vertical as I have drawn.

Thanks for viewing!

The fluorescent light could be place a little higher. Try to see if this works. The floating effect is actually a reflection from fluorescent.
