Oh My Goodness...if this was a Moose, I would swear I was in Maine again... I Like
You're only as good as your next photo....
One day, I started writing, not knowing that I had chained myself for life to a noble but merciless master. When God hands you a gift, he also hands you a whip; and the whip is intended solely for self-flagellation...I'm here alone in my dark madness, all by myself with my deck of cards --- and, of course, the whip God gave me." Truman Capote
My brother bought a strobe light at some used goods store, so I thought I'd give it a try at the studio.
This light is pretty poor quality. It seems like it reflects back, and when the light comes out, it puts out
a very uneven light. You get kind of bars of light.
I ended up putting the strobe behind an umbrella to try to even it out.
Then the light was really weak.
I may try to find one that puts out a more even light and try a few more things.
Anyway, with a ton of post work, I got one out of 54 shots to look OK, as long as it's real small.
I have this entered at the moment.
Your strobe shot is a great shot for the competition as it highlights one of the unique qualities of a strobe. Well executed. Your photo of the deer is timeless and amazing. I could see it in a print ad for headlights. I'm glad I'm not the one having to make the final choice. Both are great shots. Good luck!

Its a great shot Dave. Certainly fits the ambient theme. Whether or not it will be a contender is anyones guess....pretty cool.
