Puffer Fish

I spent the afternoon in the company of like minded people - the kind who will spend a few hours in a dark room dropping things in water while being blinded by flashing lights. Good times!

 

This looks like a puffer fish, but it's a Datura seed pod. It was one of the first thing I dropped in the tank, which may have been a mistake as the seeds did some scattering throughout the tank and hung around for the rest of the day. I was hoping to catch a seed explosion on entry, but alas...

 

Lighting Info:

-2 bare SB-80DX's, one on the left, one on the right.

-Triggered with RF-602's.

-The camera shutter was open for 1 second, and the object dropped. A laser trigger fired the flash after the object passed by.

-Contribution from ambient light was non-existent, the short flash duration froze the motion (flashes were at 1/8 power).
