Many people have asked me about THIS SHOT and how I pulled it off..... there's no real secret to it:
I set up my little ghetto-studio (SB600 45 degrees front right and above the frame, white foam board reflectors on each side of the drop area) placed a sheet of glass from an old picture frame on the desk and created a pile of baby powder (yes.... baby powder, despite what my DEA neighbours may think) at my point of focus. Loaded up the brush with powder and dropped from a height of about 2 feet (shattering the piece of glass at some point during the shoot)...... from there, it's all timing. ;)
As I mentioned the first shot that I posted was a little soft, as it bounced backwards out of the focal area - these ones are all pretty sharp, but I still LOVE the trail the first shot made as it bounced away.
Thank you for your views and comments on my previous shot (explore front page at one point apparently - I only saw it as high as #11) - I am pretty proud of it and thrilled with the way these turned out..... my stitching on this could use a little work, but I think I've had enough photoshop for one day. ;)
....... H'mmmm..... tennis balls????
