Well, mainly trying to photograph birds in flight. It's been tricky - trying to get a successful setup of flashes, get the birds in the right location, and balancing the lights sources. But here's the result:
The shot comprises of four external flashguns. On mounted on the camera and facing towards the subject. Two at 45 degrees, one on the right, one on the left and one below; lighting the underside of the bird. Fortunately, technology has made this very simple - having the camera-mounted flash as a 'master' and the other three flashes as 'slaves', meaning that when I press the shutter (using a remote control), the 'master' flash is triggered and using an infra-red signal it triggers the other 'slave' flash units instantly, providing balanced lighting of the bird in flight.
There is still room for improvement, but I have to move onto other things for the time being.
Oh yeah, and it was a very beautiful frosty sunrise yesterday...
