How to Train Your Dragon

While still in high school, my favorite son, Filip, made this dragon in his Material Science class. A few days ago he finally got it back from school and I got it as a gift. Cool!

How do you take a picture of an unfinished work like this? How do you train a wild dragon?
Answer - by making it even wilder.

I aimed a laser pointer at the mouth to give it 'fire', and used my small LED flash light to get precise lighting. Nice and simple. Harsh light made this dragon really menacing, and black background made the whole head jump out of the picture.

Imagine waking up in the middle of the night and seeing dragon head like this in mid air. :)
