Used the flash and caught the falling snow and the snow- covered trees from my back door. If you look closely you can see some colour in the birch trees, but is is pretty much a white world out there tonight!
Very active multicell thunderstorm photographed from a bird watching tower in the Ebro Delta natural reserve, eastern Spain.
OK, everyone seems to be doing the "drop-splash" photo these days. Here is my take on the theme.
Apart from localised levels adjustment, there was very little photoshop post production. The drop was photographed with a print of a diver (my wife, Jo) behind the splash zone, with the drop itself acting as a fisheye lens. The motion was frozen by using a flash (with homemade snoot) pointing at the diver print.

From the night photography/ light painting workshop with Joe Reifer and Troy Paiva, April 2010.
strobist: gelled strobes in rear car and under hoods of two front cars triggered manually. Blue flashlight from behind the car on left to light the car on right.
Just another frog shot, but what I like about it is that it was taken using the on-camera flash, which tends to bring out some different colors and a bit of fluorescence in the frog's skin.
A simple flash extender for really close up shots, using the cameras pop-up flash and avoiding the shadow that can be caused by the lens when using a long lens, or a close up attachment (as here).
As can be seen, it is just a disposable paper coffee cup, with a hole cut in it to fit over the flash.
This brings the light source forward and by leaving the domed plastic cap on the cup, provides a diffused light source close to the end of the lens.
There are a couple of side effects, which can be seen in the photo below, but they are easy to correct by setting a custom white balance or in editing the image.
For really long lenses, a cup may not be long enough to get the light where you need it. In that case, a recent post on # DIY Photography which prompted me to write this, uses a Pringles tube :) for a longer reach.
A little more difficult as you need to cut through the metal base of the Pringles can.
Probably worth mentioning, I have not used anything other than gravity to hold the cup on the camera here. In a studio situation, nothing more is really needed. But if going out and about, a couple of rubber bands will hold it in place. I use one around the base of the cup and hooked under the eyecup on the viewfinder, with a second around the lens and cup.
Hopefully this will be useful to some of you.
G M Buses 3179 (C179 YBA) and 7831 (UNA 831S) in an evening try-out with a new flash gun.
Manchester, Piccadilly Bus Station, 22/01/1992.
Brutally cold out today - 2 degrees with a 30mph wind. Schools were closed, and I can understand why. I was outside for 5 minutes and couldn't feel my face anymore.
I got a Fujifilm EF-20 Hotshoe flash in the mail today for my X100s. I wanted to test it out so I took a Selfie. I know it looks like of camera lighting but it's not. I rotated the flash 90 Degrees vertically turned my camera to portrait orientation and fired my flash in a V-flat created by opening my white kitchen cabinet.
