It's Friday night and Perth is being battered by wind and rain. I'm fighting off the start of a cold. So I really didn't feel like going out.
And if I'm staying in there are new toys in my camera bag, a flash (Canon's Speedlite 580 EXII) and a wireless trigger system for said flash (Elimchrom Skyport system), that I need to get my head around.
Soon I was asking the question: what subject should I use for testing the flash? Well since there is a distinct lack of models around my apartment I had to settle for something a little more disconcerting. The Predator. Not an actual predator, but a figure sculpted from scrap metal by a junk craftsman in Thailand. Thanks to some good friends who bought this for me when they cruised through that part of the world last year.
I'm not going to post a gallery as most of the shots are under or over exposed, as I was experimenting with the light - which is code for not knowing what I'm doing. After a while I did manage to get the cool shot below.
