After all the nice comments on Bolt, our 'speedy tortoise' yesterday I've continued the theme today. This is one of Liz's many tortoise brooches (all loved, all have names)... photographed yesterday with an LED flash/ illuminator/ 'strobe' I've been building. This can't give very bright short flashes like a speed light, but can put out 300W for a second or two in any colour or any sequence of shorter pulses with reasonable power. This has been shot with a series of 1/1000 s pulses at 1/50s intervals, with the turtle on a couple of threads so it can swing, giving the movement. Single exposure straight from the camera. I've no idea which main tag to give this!
More tortoises to come...
