After experimenting with water drops and color yesterday, Perla and I wanted to try something a little different with falling objects for day 51. We took 6 dice and dropped them in various ways onto foam sheets at 1/4, f18, ISO 400 with the flash at 1/128 +3. The idea was to get a falling/rolling blurred motion and a straight on image of the dice all in one. This wasn't really working out at first; we just got ghost dice images, with no solid dice from the flash pop. Then I remembered a Strobist Post where the photographer set the flash to pop several times during long exposure duration. This is where knowing your equipment comes in handy; I sent the flash to Multi-mode 1/128, freq. 5, @ 4 Hz. We were able to get the image above. The trick for getting the two dice, at the front, to look frozen was to leave them stationary during the exposure.
Enjoy.
Ja Mata,
Brian
