Bored today. Sun was out. So I decidedl. not to use the sun at all.

Is that shot through glass or have you added an effect? I've seen both techniques in the last 2 days so I've second guessed myself inside out

I've actually just been running around my estate catching a sunset. As per usual camera shake has ruined all but one shot as I never had time to set up the tripod. I'm too <insert naughty word here> off to be bothered to process it now.

I was lay on my garden (on a car mat to be exact) with the tripod set up and flash gun laying on the grass pointing towards the face of the subject (using an off sync cord)
Then I was stood up holding in one hand my wired remote release and in the other a bottle of water been sprayed over my subject and took the shot.

Ah I see now, that blur at the top left is water very close to the lens. It looked like a reflection when I first looked.

I'm tired, leave me alone

The spray was hitting the lens body and the upwards flash would reflect anything in its path.

Fantastic shot mate

- Can't really offer any professional C&C on it but well done on it

I rather like that
