Red Striped Crown

Typical… I haven’t been on flickr for an age and the day that I want to upload there’s some sort of network problem at work…

 

I have recently taken delivery of a 6 valve controller and a shoot from below kit from mjkzz (Peter) for high speed water drop photography; in the past I have built this type of system myself but effort of setting it all up and using a computer to control everything is a little long winded.

 

Peter has been a long standing contact of mine and I’ve always followed his projects with great interest, he is a genuinely great guy and he has some amazing products at very competitive prices; if you want to get into this type of photography, I strongly urge you pay a visit to his website

 

So… as for my thoughts on the new toys… I’m really enjoying using them and after some playing around I can safely say 6 valve controller is a pleasure to use, it comes with a little hand held remote so after some initial setup you can sit back and shoot with a press of a button. I’ve spent a lot of time in the garage over the last 6 weeks playing with different liquids and lighting setups, the downside of this is that I’ve missed some cracking evenings with lovely light but it’s nice to spend some time with a different genre of photography!
