it has been two years since i made backup of my photos into dvds. think of the outcome if those precious moments were lost by a single, dreaded clunky sound of a hard drive. i usually keep them in external hard drives but i also create redundant backup as well (writing dvds and store it in a safe place). i started once again in archiving my files and while doing so, i stumbled upon this hidden treasure.
nikon d300, 60mm macro lens, iso100, f8, 1/250sec
it was a souvenir from a friend and decided to play with it last september. i was fascinated by its color and slender shape; i decided to practice low-key lighting. i cross-lighted the subjects using two speedlights and triggered by cactus v4 radio transmitter and receivers. using the inverse square law (mr. strobist explained it further here), we turned our obstructive background into black.
