Hit The Nail On The Head (Macro Mondays)
Macro Mondays 13/03/17 theme Made of Metal.(total scene is less than 2")
For a change I knew what I wanted to do for this theme and wanted to recreate the moment metal strikes metal and you sometimes get it to spark.So with a nail hammered into a block of wood I attached one wire from a low voltage transformer and attached the other wire to the metal shaft of the hammer.I then set up the camera and focused on the head of the nail.I set the shutter speed to 0.5sec and the flash to 2nd curtain sync so as the shutter opened I hit the nail head creating the spark in the dark and left it in place as the flash fired to light the scene and the shutter closed.
Happy 10 year Macro Mondays and here's to the next 10.
