Pixel Darkroom Photography

I promise I’ll leave the rotten pumpkin be. I’m not too particularly excited about this shot, and I have not gotten the results I was hoping for, even though the setup did include some over the top improvisations. When I say “over the top” I mean that I put the light over the top of the bunk bed, through a clear plastic ziplock bag because it was raining. I was on the bottom floor on the ground synchronizing the lights via PW. The rain wasn’t strong enough and it didn’t show in the final image. I thought about taking the hose out but figured it would be too much of a hassle right now. This is a learning process after all and I figured it was enough learning for one day. I mean I did figure out how to stick the flash out the kids bedroom window… right? I think that should count. There goes day fourteen.

Strobist info: 580 EX at 1/4 shoot trough ziplock bag on the top floor, PW. Setup shot here.

This thing’s been sitting around the house for a few good days and with as much rain as we had, it began to rot. It lost it’s beautiful smile of Thanksgiving and now it just grins with fear of the fate it awaits. Sticking that candle inside it and popping a few flashes at it tonight and was probably the most fun this thing has had since we carved out it’s brain.
