Adorama background slave with blue filter low right pointed toward camera slightly in front of bowl
Flashpoint slave full power above and slightly in front of bowl
Bought a new strobe and was playing around with photographing smoke from a burning insense (sp?). Used the flash on the camera as the main and my new one as the slave. The strobe is below the smoke looking straight up. Had to take a gazillion shots to get a few that I liked. Thankful for digital cameras!!!
The other problem I was having was trying to find a clean background. It sucks not having a studio.
I want to take photos of bats. So I'm building a trigger with lego mindstorms. (It's what I have) This is a crude prototype, the motor will be replaced by an electronic trigger very soon to eliminate the 1/10 sec delay in triggering.
As a surrogate bat I have a paper plane launched at just under 10m/s. It's all rather succesful if not particularly aesthetic just now.
Strobist: flagged flash set to 50hz strobe, radio trigger connected to lego mindstorms, light beam gets broken and the flash goes off less than 1/10 sec later. Shutter open in dark room for 2 secs.

Created using a powerful strobe light on a long exposure
standard exposure
car and barn lit with strobes
One light behind car shooting up at barn
One light camera right shooting toward car
From the results of the previous shot where the strobe was too fast I slowed it down to a slower rate and captured this image which freezes the subject almost how I want to do with my original idea. Still however it isn't as clear as the method I've used where you layer up multiple exposures (such as in my skiing images) More images are on the way, I'm just putting them together atm. Stay tuned!
