A Bucket Full of Water…

Filed Under General 

…helps the medicine go down. An ill conceived concept was attempted using the high speed kit, a bucket of water and an umbrella.

Exposure: 2s  Aperture: f/4.0  ISO: 800  Focal Length: 23 mm

It was not a great success. While we initially thought the background windows provided interest they instead washed out the action being illuminated by the flashes. Far to much ambient for this sort of thing, as evident by Ms Poppins head ghosting.

In fact the most entertaining part of the evening was during another setup in which I was responsible for throwing an arc of water OVER Ms Poppins. After a handful of dud frames (and a somewhat wet Poppins) how was I to resist unloading a whole bucket of water onto her and finishing the job?
