A late backup photo again today, taken last weekend.
Rather worse weather today, thanks to storm Bert.

I Just Wish To Highlight...

... and I shall do so in a range of colours!

Strange Flower

A 3D printed mini flowerpot, the MIOPS Splash, and some milky water went into this one.
The green was achieved by a green gel on one flash, and a black card was used to block most of the light from that flash hitting the pot.
A similar technique was used to confine most of the light from a second, unfiltered, diffused flash to the pot.

A backup photo today, posted late, to boot.
This was from my morning walk at the weekend. I was quite pleased with it.

Some more work with the MIOPS Splash this evening.
By forcing the camera to see the initial trigger (equivalent to a half-press on the shutter button), the timing scatter is reduced significantly. This is something I found was necessary with my earlier DIY setup, so it's no surprise it helps here too.
I've included a composite image that I quite liked, and a behind-the-scenes shot too, both after the jump.

This might be my entry for the 52Frames High Key challenge, but I'll see if I come up with anything better during the week before I commit to submitting it!

I ordered a MIOPS Splash water dropper a little while ago, which finally arrived today.
I still need to iron out some of the wrinkles in the setup (mostly down to too-short cables, and inconsistent timing for various reasons), but I was reasonably happy with this as a result from my first session.

Autumn Mornings

I'm not much of a morning person, but I did manage to drag myself out of bed this morning to try and catch the morning sun.
My initial plan had been to try and capture a patch of mist that often forms in a field I pass on my way to work, but it was nowhere to be seen this morning.
Since I was up and doing, I went for a walk and enjoyed the best weather of the day - it's rained for much of the afternoon.
