Smoke abstract

A very hectic day today - which went on for a lot longer than planned. Never mind, I have a few days leave ahead now, so that will be fun.

Not knowing what to blip I was chatting with Anna on facebook and she inspired me to do a smoke blip. Always a fun thing to do. The secret is to not let the light spill onto the background. So I use cardboard "blinkers" or barn doors held onto the flash gun with rubber bands.

This is one shot mutliplied and coloured. It's only when I get it ready to post that I se the errors! Oh well - practise makes perfect! I'll get it right one day.
