Works great, as long as the slave...

Day Sixty Six – Fresh aroma

066/365 – 2010-03-07
I shot today’s photo quite late in the evening, so decided to build a quick bokeh setup.
Butterflies created using white Christmas tree lights and the bokeh master’s set.
The out of focus wire between the lights created an illusion of evaporating coffee.
There’s definitely some potential in this idea, I have to spend a little...

Attended a London Strobist Meetup today. The focus this time was on product and closeup photography, using off camera flash.
As you can see, we had a lot of fun ;-)
Strobist info: I shot a couple of frames with available light (this one being technically the poorest), but for this particular one...

Day Fifty Four – I found Nemo!!!

054/365 – 2010-02-23
Remember “Finding Nemo”? Well, I just found “NEMO” in the least suspected place: on the side of the One Pound coin.

Day Fifty One – Waiting in Suspension

051/365 – 2010-02-20
Offer’s in. Waiting for an “Aye or Nay”…
Strobist info: since the iPhone is a tricky thing to light, I surrounded it with small white reflectors and fired a 580 EX from high camera right into the highest reflector positioned on the left. Hope it makes some sense…
