252/365 # A new hope

This is nowhere near how I imagined it, but at least it's vaguely creative for a change. Click here to get an idea of where I wanted to go with this. Unfortunately in the Degobah system there aren't that many garden fences, so it spoils the illusion a bit.

 

I borrowed Ben's lightsaber torch and spent a very cold 15 minutes in the back garden skulking around like an idiot. I didn't think I'd got a shot worth using, but this one was decent enough to make the effort with.

 

This is one of an increasing number of occasions when I wish I had another flash. I like the back lighting but the excess of shadow to the left of the shot is a bit too much. But hey, never mind. I got outside for a change, which was great because I've been going a little stir-crazy taking photos against the same wall for the last god knows how many days.

 

Now I'm off to kick some evil Empire ass . . .

 

Strobist info: SB600 to camera right at 1/8 power.
