These are what prompted me to talk a walk around Naperville. I'd been wondering all week what sort of photo I could make form the nuts & bolts which hold the Naperville covered bridges together. So armed with only the camera & lens, no lights tripod or other gizmos to get in the way off I headed.
The bridge was pretty dark, so I upped the ISO to 400 and held my breath (literally) while shooting in continuos mode.
I think they make for interesting images, also its interesting to view them as photos as they where all taken with the camera pointing almost directly upwards, not that you can necessarily tell that from the results.

Off to a good start this year, I gave zooming while exposing a go yesterday, today we move onto all things smoke. I've never tried this before, so it was trial and error. I setup some incense sticks on a chair in the basement, propped a black cloth behind, and placed two 580exII's below and at either side of the stick pointing up at it, and behind it. I then took 200 shots of the incense stick, occasionally utilizing a small reflector to waft the smoke a little.
I think you can only try something like this once you're older than 21 years old, any younger and you'd be taken away in a van with square wheels! I got some strange looks from my wife on this one.
I stopped when I could stand the smell no more. This is the first one I've processed. While waiting on the images to import into Lightroom, I came across a great blog on this subject, it looks like I did everything as described in the blog... without even reading it (remember the square wheels!). Some great tips on there though for post processing smoke, here is the link:
