"Victory for Mankind"
I'm not saying that the electric fly swatter is the greatest thing since sliced bread.......but I've never witnessed a piece of bread kill and cook a fly at the same time. We shall let history decide. We have occasional periods of massive fly infestations, and we still don't understand why. I have carnivorous plants, we've used fly paper, spray, fly bags, I've fixed the screen, I've taped every hole to the outside world....but the flies continue to invade our home. So, I just discovered the electric fly swatter, and I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that it has changed my life. Ironically, there is not a single fly in the house, but I'm sure that will change in the near future. I should certainly digress. The lighting was accomplished with three strobes. I used my trusty Light Blaster to project an image of a bull's eye target on the white seamless background. Next, I positioned a speedlight with a purple gel behind and beneath the swatter. It is the complementary color to the foul yellow color of the swatter, so I thought they would work nicely together. Lastly, I tightly snooted a speedlight to light just the company's name. Very lastly, heed the warning on the tag....this is NOT a toy. Assuming the device used just enough zapping power to down a housefly, I had to play the role of human guinea pig and test it for myself. Have you ever smelled the odor of burning human flesh? Ok, it did not hit that hard.........but it hurt. Please be warned. Thanks for buzzing by!!
