artificial light - real rain



what you see in the background is rain illuminated with a single flash triggered remotely at full power .
another flash in front of the subject at 1/16th power shot though an umbrella.
this is a very cool idea i learned from a photography blog. the subject and the photographer stays under a shed. a wireless flash is covered with transparent plastic and exposed to the rain behind the subject to illuminate rain.

photography is all about light - fortunately, it's not limited to sunlight.

Day 345 - Climbing trees (Freestyle)





When I came back home I saw my little neighbor climbed in the tree in front of my house and thought she was so pretty with her outfit matching the flowers of the tree and wanted to take a picture. I yelled "stay in the tree, don't go down yet". She seemed so puzzled I did not understand why, until her mom burst in laughts explaining me she had just been yelling her to get down the tree immediately!
