{DON'T TRY THIS UNLESS YOUR CONFIDENT IN ELECTRICS.} "I'M NOT"
So i had this "bright idea". Not really, i saw this on the strobist 101 blog and thought id
give it a go. It was all going quite well until my Yongnuo 560 ii started playing up, it was flashing but wasn't lighting the subject. not sure if there was a short delay between that
and my other flashes. a bit strange!!. So instead of having a snootted flash CL and CR pointing just at the base of the lightbulb i had to use 1 just slightly CL to light the base only, as you see by the shadow.
strobe info:
canon 600 EX-RT 1/128 @ 35mm with lee taoist pink gel at white background
canon 580 EXii 1/128 @105mm with 9" snoot slightly CL below.
triggered by the canon 60D wireless system
"HOTSHOTS"
I have a recurring nightmare. The situation changes slightly but the theme is always the same.
I am in a house and I awake from my sleep. I have the distinct impression that there is something else around, in the dark... lurking... So I go to investigate and I reach for the switch, except no lights go on... I flick again and again and then... It charges...and I wake up...Usually in a cold sweat.
I rarely see "it"... the frighting part is the non-working light switch.
I wasn't sure how to depict the "dark"
Shot for Macro Monday's "Nightmare"
Amazing effects by hanging small light-saber from the smoke detector in the middle of the ceiling and spinning it over the camera, laying on its back facing upwards!
Put yourself on view. This brings your talents to light.

This photo comes from my third attempt at shooting burning light bulbs. It became clear to me in earlier attempts that smashing the bulbs with a hammer or pinching the base of the glass with pliers in hopes of getting interesting shapes wasn't working with the frequency I was hoping for. I was able to cut the bulb to get whatever desired shape I wanted and not waste any bulbs due to damaged filaments.
I went out for a bit of a walk today and stopped and took this photo just up the road.
Yes, I know that the subject should not be in the middle but, I am tossing the rules out when it comes to my photography. We are following enough rules right now and have been since March of 2020 when it comes to staying home, wearing face masks etc. and I figure that the one thing that has kept me sane since we retired (at least up till March I was seeing others outside of our home when we went to work four days as week) was my photography. So, I have decided, I am going to not follow the rules when it comes to photography.
There is light in sight though and GP and I are slated to get our 2nd "jab" tomorrow afternoon as our Health Unit is having a "pop up clinic" so we can hopefully start to see our children and grandchildren real soon!
Canon EOS 5D Mark II Canon EF 24-70 f2.8L aperture priority at f6.3 ISO 200 SOC no edits at all other than resizing for the web in ON1 Photo Raw 2021. At f6.3 on this lens you still get some nice bokeh.

Lit my candles tonight and thought this might look like and interesting photo. There is only one row of candles lit.
This is the stairway going up and down our basement. Always my subject with different test shots like using flash or experimenting with WB settings, etc... In the afternoons, sunlight always shines this angled rays through the clear glass panel above the front door illuminating that vase at the bottom of the stairs. You can tell I haven't been out.
