Night During The Day

[Familiaphoto]

So there was the icicle hanging outside my dining room window today so I started to take some pics of it. Well shooting the available light got boring fast, so I decided to try out some high speed sync, allowing things to look light night as discussed over at Pixsylated. (See below link.)

So I pulled out my homemade clamp and set up my 430EX as a slave. Then I cranked up my SS, closed down my aperture and lowered my ISO to get everything as dark as possible. Below are the results, the only PP I did was to bump the darks a bit and do a bit of sharpening.

Below are two shots with the 430's position after each. This is my first attempt as high-speed sync and would love to hear everyone's thoughts.

EXIF is in tact if you are interested and thanks for looking.

very nice. I'd spray some water on it, and get a drop or two in the image

Thanks, didn't think about spraying it. Not really sure I can visualize that, I'll give it a try next time.

i lived in chicago for almost a year.. came right after the snow, and left right before the snow... im glad too.. i dont think i could handle all of that. lol.

i like the idea for sure. i think the water thing would be cool too.

Thanks Shanon, be happy you missed the winter here. This has been an incredibly cold winder, spending a few days below zero this week alone.

Very neat set up. Who needs a black colored sheet?

My thought exactly. This has given me all sorts of things I want to try out. The wheels are a churning.
