One Lump or Two?, June 19, 2006

Technical notes:

Camera body was my Canon Digital Rebel XT
Lens was my Sigma 70-300mm 4-5.6 DG Macro @ 200mm / f11
Flash was a Vivitar 283 with the thyristor removed and shorted
Exposure was 0.5 seconds, during which the flash was activated by a home-made sound trigger. The trigger I built was almost identical to the one described at HiViz's site
Gun was a Daisy Powerline 880 pellet gun and some cheap flathead pellets.
I thought I had the sugar cubes well-contained in a box with only four small openings (front for camera, back for background, top for the flash, and another small hole to shoot through.) I STILL have sugar dust all over my room. Yikes.
