Lights Out

The other day, I got together with some photo buddies for an evening of shooting.
The shooting included these light bulbs, an audio trigger, some firecrackers, and a BB gun.  Fun stuff.

Explosions

I spent some time yesterday with some friends, messing around with a few different things that we have been wanting to try.
In the course of the evening, several small, glass and ceramic objects had their useful lives come to a quick and violent end.

More Drops

Still working through the pile of images that I accumulated while shooting water drops the other day.
Here's a few more favorites.  With these, I used a white backdrop.

Got Milk?

Well, after spending a good amount of time shooting water drops, I decided to change things up a bit.  So, I traded out the water for some milk.  After the first round of shots of just milk, I decided to add a little color.  Turns out the only food coloring we had in the house was green, so that made the decision pretty easy.  I started by adding color to the drop supply.  Then, as the pool of milk became more green, I added some drops of color at the spot where the drops were hitting the pool.  It was pretty cool to watch the changes.
I'm definitely going to have fiddle with this again.

Images were created using the Canon 1D Mk IV and the Canon 100mm f/2.8 macro lens.

A Bus In The Night

What are you going to do with an old bus and a dark night?  Why you paint it, of course!

Images were created using the Canon 1D Mk IV and the Canon 24-105mm f/4.0L IS lens.
