Yes, I see. Some very nice work in there.

   Can you elaborate on that a bit...

   I find some of the comments in this thread interesting. The automatic 
assumption has been that it's all CGI and is no longer photography, and 
then a bit of sniffing...

   Photography has a long history of superb lighting. When you look at 
photography from the 20's you can see that lighting was well developed 
by then. I think we've gotten away from the techniques of lighting and 
just assume it was all created digitally.

   I look at this and try to figure out how it is done, not that I will 
be shooting such stuff, but it should be something every photographer 
should do. Craft should be something we all care about.
