David's Project 365

[Ronald Barker]

Likewise a double shot, I could not remember who had taken one like this before but had seen one.
Well done, I can only admire all the efforts being taken by everyone concerned.

[Mike Farley]

Thanks for the encouragement, Ron.

This one was inspired by the folks from 500px on twitter announcing they were going out to photograph owls this weekend which got me thinking. I fancied a little more strobism practice and ended up with my lighting kit in the street to get the bokeh I was looking for

Modelled by my wife who is under the weather with a cold right now, and asked I focus on the owl rather than a full portrait, I only got three or four shots before the cold and rain sent her inside and the wind nearly knocked my umbrella over!

It was hugely fun taking this and I did a mini write up on how I achieved it here -

I read your write-up on how you achieved this and must say it sounds complicated. I can't help admiring your patience and dedication to the task in hand. Excellent result!

[davidc]

It's actually dead easy to do and you need a minimal amount of kit. Technically you don't even need a flash, though I think it makes it better/easier.

[Mike Farley]

Good one, David.

[davidc]

Going down well online too Officially hit "popular" on 500px, only ever happened to me once before.

Deservedly so David
I'm with Nina... it still doesn't sound THAT easy...

[davidc]

Didn't have much time tonight so did something quick, easy and fun. This project is getting to be quite tiring!

Yes it IS mashed potato.
