These photos are actually the only photographs I have taken since the daffodil nearly a fortnight ago.
How sad :-(
I could plead time constraints, work commitments etc, but you don't want to hear that - you just want the photos!
Today, I couldn't make up my mind which one(s) I liked best so I am including several.
Here's the first:
This is actually one of the last I shot today. I wanted to portray a glass in a seedy, low-lit cocktail bar, with garish pink and blue neon lights and what I think of as a "50's" atmosphere.
Check out the full size one here, and check out some of the others I shot getting to the glass - they are all in the Project 52 gallery.
These two were shot early on, and the blue one is shot with one flash, the other had both flashes on.
I liked the double one in blue because of the "ring of blue" in the water at the side of the picture, and the other one because of the red areas on the right. They both surprised me with the way they turned out.
The setup for these is minimal in terms of space, but I used radio triggers for the flashes and acrylic sheets for the colours - well, just see for yourself:
You can see the simple setup here: see-through box files, some coloured acrylic sheets and a black backcloth. The flash setup was fairly easy, except that they are different guide numbers and need to be set on different power levels to achieve an even balance.
Here's a different angle.
I hope you like these. I found it fun to do, and simple, and I learned some more about setting up my flashes etc.
