Weekly Photo Challenge: Pattern
Ok, so the weekly photo challenge is Pattern over at the Daily Post. I actually had a different image in mind but am still working on post processing so perhaps tomorrow I’ll post that one (it’s rather…colourful).
About the images, both were taken during the day and there was a little more darkening around the edges in post processing but that’s pretty much how the shot came out. The reason for it looking like it’s dark out is because I used an off-camera flash and a high shutter speed (1/1000 second in both cases). When using off-camera flash, the shutter speed “controls” the ambient light. The higher the shutter the less background you will see. Keeping that in mind, most cameras have a flash sync speed of 1/200 or 1/250 second (if you use any shutter speed faster than that you will start to get black areas on top/bottom…those black areas are actually the shutter!) so you will need to have triggers that allow high speed sync. I know, I know..babble babble babble…but why two images today David? Well, to be honest, I couldn’t decide which I liked better!

Oh…one other thing…which pattern did you see first, the grass or the brick?

Steel Wool Part V
f/5 | 10 seconds | iso 800 | Canon 17-40mm f/4L USM @ 17mm
Sadly, my final installment for light painting/steel wool fun! I normally don’t re-post images that I’ve posted elsewhere but had to with this one (originally posted on my Wordless Wednesday site yesterday). Okay, so I really like this one…perhaps this is my new fav as it has all the previous elements I liked so much….stars, beach, umbrella looking “spray”, the awesomeness of the sparks hitting the water! I really dig that one single strand of spark shooting almost directly up. 
…Enjoy!
