Strobed Roll

This is the same multi-mode on the flash as yesterday’s post, but with a metal ring rolling through the frame. It looks more like a Slinky than a single ring.

Strobed Bounce

My flash has a feature called "Multi" mode, where it can fire off a high-speed sequence of flashes at a selectable frequency and duration. I just set the camera to open the shutter for as long as the specified sequence, and anything moving through the frame during the exposure will receive multiple flashes. This tennis ball is bouncing off my kitchen counter.

Wacky Bird

A very odd thing–same subject, new composition.

Feelin’ Groovy!

This is a small novelty item that’s sold, I believe, as a garden ornament. I’m not sure what real people do with it, but it makes a cute decoration on my daughter’s desk.

White King

This image suggests that white is not necessarily white. Of course, if you’ve ever tried to match white tile with white appliances and white miniblinds in your kitchen, you know what I mean.

White on White

Now I’m experimenting with white subjects on a white seamless background.

Desk Phone

This was just a quick test shot of my phone at my desk while I was playing with my flash off-camera. I didn’t shoot this with the intention of posting it, but I found myself liking it a bit, so here it is. It looks like a stock photo.
