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.
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.

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.
It was overcast and dark and got windier so to freeze the movement of everything had to resort to flash.
Another splash of a fruit. :) Ist's strawberry-time so i tried it with a strawberry. ;) The flash was on the right. So you see the little shadow on the left side of the strawberry. -.-' I know it's not perfect, but I like this shot still anyway. I like shadows, it makes it some dramatic. I hope you like it and had a nice weekend!
No doubt you are familiar with Philips, one of the largest electronics companies in the world. Way back in 1950, they manufactured this beautiful bakelite camera for 6cm square exposures on 620 film.
The design, with its integrated flash reflector, is quite similar to the Spartus Press Flash, but this camera is far more scarce.
The "Philips shield" logo, seen below the lens, made its first appearance in 1938. As the company was primarily known for its radios at the time, the wavy lines are meant to represent radio waves, while the stars represent the evening sky through which the radio waves would travel.
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.
Based on the Golden Age Flash, Jay Garrick and created for a project. The face was inspired more by the New 52 than the classic appearance, because it bothered me that he never wore a mask.
Seen here resting in Torpoint is Plymouth Citybus Yellow Flash 538 WJ65BZE. Bit unsure why this is in Torpoint, but presume it is something to do with the Callywith College contract; and the driver is tide in with the temporary 69 route to Cremyll.
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.
Trying to get my head around using flash in photography. Just playing around - I like the shadows created by the hat
These are my son Derrick's shoes at his wedding last Saturday. He worked at Nordstrom in the ladies shoes department for a few years when he was in college. The boy loves shoes. lol :)
This is a picture I took with my phone last year using the app Huji Cam. I made some more editing in other mobile apps just to explore the visual possibilities they offer. I see this image as an "exercise", because I really just wanted to test new things and do something different. I think this is very important to develop an unique aesthetic.
