Nicola - I love this photo in black and white and have really enjoyed going through your albums. You have a fun sense of humor -- I really liked the Kentucky Derby photo!
I am your push partner for this week. I saw that you'd done the reflection in drops of water (on my list to try), so I thought you might enjoy trying out another technique - photographing smoke. I've included a link to one of the many tutorials I found online for photographing smoke. I've only tried it once and it was fun! I hope you have fun with it too. http://digital-photography-school.com/an-introduction-to-smoke-photography
@ridley Thanks so much for your lovely comments Michelle and an exciting (if a bit daunting!) challenge, I've been away this weekend, just back so will catch up on your album now and try to mastermind a challenge in return! :0)
Nicola, I hope you'll have fun with it. I got a cord so I could use my flash off camera and I found it easier than using a stand alone light (tried both!). but google some of the tutorials online -- once you get it set up, its just about focusing on the right spot!
@ridley have failed badly so far! have an excuse, Mum has been in hospital so snaps have been found when and where possible! Will try and will tag you in when I do!! sorry! :0(
