I thought I would share some of my favourite shots taken last winter [ when I had a long dark nights to experiment :) ]
This is my blog on how to do it (http://desmonddowns-ttlblflash.blogspot.com/2010/01/i-have-been-asked-to-share-my-technique.html) and these are the results ....

Very well done Desmond, I really like your approach to personal well being with the safety glasses. :rolleyes:

Thanks - with the days getting shorter it might be time to dig out the air rifle and balloons again :)

Yeah , I'm still trying to work out why someone suggested safety glasses :confused013

these are fantastic Desmond. Just love those patterns on the red as it`s exploding and the light blue/white? one...looks like the inside of the tubing wave. Wonderful. That safety glasses one is real funny too. Not sure about playing with glass.....must be careful...:D

The glass was ok - I just had to sweep up the mess !
But when I shot this stone using repeat flash mode I ended up with blood trickling down my arm .....

You can do a lot of this with a simple switch connected to a flash pc cord ! :)
