162/365 # Lightmyway

Tonight I tried out an idea I had at the start of the week - I wanted to see what happened if I snooted the flash on my camera.

 

Well, if you use a lopsided cardboard box and stick it to the back of the camera with sellotape, something like this! I've had a real good go at it in Lightroom and added a texture in Photoshop (which I'm in two minds about by the way) and I'm sorta pleased how it's turned out . . . I just wish I didn't look like that. And I've just noticed the shadow behind my ears . . . damn.

 

I need to get out and away from this damn kitchen wall - it's driving me nuts. I'm finding it more and more tricky to come up with something I like every day because my options are limited to [a] the kitchen wall or [b] ghetto lighting. I can't wait till I can inject some natural light back into my 365. Or find the cash to buy a flash and maybe some wireless triggers.

 

It was still fun to mess about this evening trying something a bit different out, but how many more nights am I going to be able to find something new to try?

 

Looks weird this size - I think it needs to be bigger than this even

 

Try it out original size for maximum effect.
