Well, it started a half hour before sunset and as the sky was clearing I noticed a cirrus cloud formation. Got the camera into play and took a shot of the clouds.
....wondered if they would work in a gasseous creation.
Got it into PS and did the usual thing and came up with this.....
..... not too good, I'll give this one a miss.
As the light of the day diminished I closed the curtains and got the gear set up and broke the last remaining glowsticks then got to work trying to create something with a little difference. Added a little water to the inside of the balloon before adding the lightsticks. After inflating the balloon, gave it a shake and managed to get some drops of water to adhere to the side of the balloon. Placed the pre-formed orb into the frame and took a shot or two
..... pleased with this one.
The night wouldn't be complete without a shot of the latest phase of the moon.......
.... the sky was not totally clear for this.
All the shots were taken with my SX50 bridge camera....... what a versatile bit of kit. Enough for tonight ...phew!
