Statue with flash, Parque de Malaga, Gordon Haslett

At the weekend I re-shot a statue in the park close to my house with a combination of daylight (early morning shadow) and flash. The Metz flash was mounted on a stand to camera right. The idea is to make a series of figures lit with flash against dark backgrounds.

Forest Scenes, Sippersveld, Germany, Gordon Haslett

On my return from Uganda (see July 2010 posts 'Trip to Africa') I stopped off in Sippersveld, close to Frankfurt in Germany. The cool and dark forest was quite a contrast to the hot plains of Africa.
