Coming back to my previous post about Strobist I am really starting to love "playing" around with flash and my cameras, in fact I went into my home studio the other day and found myself slightly annoyed at how far I had to dim my Bowens kit down to try and get a "cool" effect.
So I took the G9 out the other day, not intending to do anythig special (just walking the dog actually). I started snapping away at some of the patterns in the water, and kept going slower and slower with the shutter, eventually the inevitble happened and it got blurry, that's when I switched on the flash and hey presto, got the smooth action of water I wanted but maintained the sharpness on the rocks, it was the onboard flash so didn't work all the time, but some of them came out OK.
I've also done a bit of reading, and came across this site, it's great! I love the images and the links posted, it's my favourite blog right now.
I'm also really digging Ellen von Unwerths which I tripped over on this site, (which is a cool site too!), also found this which is talking about a 50 page spread of Raquel Zimmerman in the New Vogue Nippon, dunno if I'll be able to get hold of that here, but I'm gonna try!
