Playing with off camera flash, all c&c welcome.

Great image of an amazing athlete. The only thing I find a bit off putting is the javelin on the right hand side, to me it takes your eye away from the the main subject, apart from that I cant fault it.

My very last shot of 2008, taken hand held.

All C&C most welcome.

Trying to get the hang of still life, got a way to go yet.

 

All c&c greatfully recieved.

All comments, good and bad, greatfully recieved.

I think this lacks something but I just cant put my finger on it.

Ive had quite a few people ask me "how did you do it", this is roughly what I did. First the spark plug was clamped on to a bar attached to a tripod so that it couldnt move. To get the power to it I used a modified coil pack, off a car, that had a circuit board attached to it to supply a continuous spark as though it was reving at 4000rpm. This was wired up to a car battery and a remote starter so that I could turn it on as and when I wanted. Oh and absolutely everything was earthed/grounded just to be on the safe side,as there was approximately 30000volts going through it I thought it was better to be safe than sorry, so bear this in mind if you try to do this as it gives off one hell of a wallop if you happen to touch something unawares. Just a matter then of pressing the remote starter to get the plug fired up and clicking away with the camera till I got something decent.

One of my attempts at the world of close-up (and the first posted on

photo.net), worhty of comment?, you tell me.
