One camera, one off-camera flash, one arrangement of bottles and one bored evening.

Isn't light a wonderful thing?

Oho, Dorothy, you're not in Kansas anymore - you've definitely got the bug. It's when you start using a second flash and then realise you're no longer shocked at a four-figure price for a strobe set that you're beyond all hope of recovery. The bottom left one has the most appeal / drama for me. revenant · 2010-07-08: 11:52

It looks great as a panel of 6 together. I like "stupid" experiments like this one, I also sometimes like to play with light (although not flash ), you could create an "infinity" of versions of the same one thing...and still making it look different every time... ... Hmm, watch out, soon you will be taking 300 shots of a marble heheheh ;) ! redro · 2010-07-08: 11:56

this just proofs that boredom is the father of all things. :-) stormfish · 2010-07-08: 12:18

I know nothing about flash as I don't have :-) except the one inside the camera. But I try plenty of "stupid" experiments in many fields, not only light ;-) It's fun and cool! Hilarious comment above. I like 1 and 2. ????? · 2010-07-08: 12:24

P.S. Is it perfum or alcohol? In case of boredom you could drink them, too, after shooting ;-) ????? · 2010-07-08: 12:25

:-) just got me a softbox umbrella for my off-cam flash, i know how difficult this is.. i think i like the one in the lower middle the best. eljapa · 2010-07-08: 15:34

Not stupid at all, these show the amazing effects light can create. Makes me want to save up for a flash now! girafferacing · 2010-07-08: 15:35

Definitely! Makes for interesting effects. jet28 · 2010-07-09: 06:33

my cat would have much appreciated me working with bottles the other day when I got bored... :-) DancingDolphin · 2010-07-10: 11:06
