The Dementer's [Failed] Attempt

The Dementer's [Failed] Attempt

Uploaded: February 22, 2005

Description

I made this while experimenting with my new external flash in strobe mode. Four flashes during a 6-second exposure (the model changed arm positions for each flash), ISO 100. Cropping and contrast in Photoshop. The photo will hopefully be used in the CD jacket of my model Naomi's upcoming album by the same name.

Oh, what a surprise!! Thank you SO much for the comments! I hadn't been getting the message notifications (although I did get some for my other winner), so I figured that no one liked this one. :) But it's one of my personal favorites, so I cherish the comments!!

I am making my way around to congratulate all of the other winners!

Thank you again, members and judges too!
