Hope someone else likes this as I was chuffed when I saw it.
This was taken with a canon 580 ex to the right side on manual 1/32 and some silver foil to theleft.Flash was triggered wireless and shutter on 10 second delay.
I had a black pice of velvet as a background " not sure if it was needed with my camera settings"
I also used soem black card either side of the flash to direct the light forwards these were held on with an elastic band.
I lent over the fabric with some flour and took many shots I liked this one best.

Well done, Gaz ! Very experimental.

I had to look up 'chuffed' in the Urban Dictionary: " chuffed "

"To be quite pleased with oneself in the manner of a child going potty unassisted."

I'll look for more of your work and hopefully learn a lot !

great shot, might have to have a go myself...

Yeah, Chuffed is somewhat a UK term lol..

Looks like a whole lot of messy fun to me. Gonna have to try that myself one of these days!

Never thought just assumed everyone knew the term.
Thanks for your positive comments.

Hi Gaz

Love this shot. Very good lighting and lovely and sharp. Nice idea - must try for some similar in the next few weeks.

Incidentally, can you help me to know where to get a length of black velvet suitable for shots like this?
