Lightbulb Playing with lights

What a weekend... Blazing hot in the afternoon, and rain-drizzling-rain from late afternoon till night. The only time to go out for shooting was late night and early morning.

So, on Saturday, after hours of running around looking for a place that was not raining, we decided to just stop, and wait for the rain to stop. Morale was at all time low. LOL Finally the rain stopped and it's time to try my new Canon ST-E2.

A guy, a tripod with a flash gun was removed using PS.
Glowing tree

Faithful Arsenal supporter...
Arsenal rules...

He was really on the phone. No kidding.
On the phone

The Stooge
The gang

Went to bed at 2.00am and later woke up at 5.45am for some more shooting.
Spent the 1st half of Sunday doing macros and the 2nd half of the day unconscious. LOL

You did a great job with the lighting Sparda. All great shots and I like the humour in them too especially the Arsenal supporter LOL. I'm a Liverpool supporter
Nice work bud. Thanks for sharing them. I'm trying to remember what a blazing hot day feels like. hehe!!

These are all just wonderful, Sparda. The guy with the cell phone is fabulous! Love the pose, the shadow, the details of the rock wall, the composition -- totally excellent!

Thanks Angella... Unfortunately the tree shot with a more balance lighting was out of focus...
