Notes and planning and FLASH photography

Making notes and reading manuals!

Well it has been agreed.  My next module project is going to be set around flash photography.  The brief is a little confusing - however the essence of it is "...an area new to you ...that should challenge your existing experience and knowledge..."

An interesting challenge.  So how to start.   I have spent the day working through the manuals for my flash gun and cameras to see what is what.  As a result of this I have decided to for something simple and perhaps a cliche -  a strobe shot of water.   The reason for this is that this would appear to be something I can easily set up and gets me some experience as to what the flash gun can do.   

To help this development I have decided to shoot tethered so that I can get a better idea as to what the images look like straight way.   I am not looking for some earth shattering piece of work at this time but just some passable result for all the effort that I am putting in.  We will see what happens.
