"Image 349"
Floundering to find something to shoot this evening, I came across a pile of my kids' arts and crafts supplies. While there was a plethora of different colored feathers, I went with red. I thought it might look cool against the black background (and knew I would try something similar to yesterday's lighting of the orange), the image still lacked interest. I then spotted my old misting bottle, and thought that would help. Sometimes your equipment just happens to be on the correct settings, and the first image looked pretty good. I then spent several exposures trying to capture the "right" amount of mist and bokeh. Spraying from different heights and angles, and deciding when to snap the shutter, all contributed to the image. The light source is a snooted speedlight, behind and above the feather, at 1/128th power. This was Image 31. Thanks for flocking by!!
