fantastic canOn photography
(^07) l ove me Some Blue By Frani Smith
Frani tells us, “This is a photograph of three
blue water drops colliding. I used a little bit
of dark blue and turquoise acrylic paint to
colour the two separate water containers
and positioned six Canon Speedlites (all set
to 1/128th power) around the sides of the
container to catch the collision.”

(^08) Bound For the night By Paula
“The blue gondolas in Venice are amazingly
photogenic and I used a slow shutter speed
of 8 secs to capture a bit of motion in them
as they bobbed up and down in the water.”
We love how the blue tones compliment
the silvery sky.

John Miphopulos
“It was late March and I was searching
for mallards to photograph and I was
surprised to hear the call of a kingfisher.
It was fantastic to get so close, so I hid
behind a bush to take this shot.”
