Pizza Fairy.

A friend of mine told me the pizza fairy had been, meaning that he'd bought a pizza home for me. I added the wings with an LED light during the long exposure.

Pentax K-x - 20 sec - f/? - ISO 400 - ~34mm

Lit using an Achiever 300D flash triggered by a Ricoh XR-2 with self-timer. The flash was in a white wardrobe with a mattress protector hung over the opening. The wardrobe door served to block (most) light from hitting the background. The wardrobe is to the camera right of the subject.

Used GIMP to adjust levels and darken the foreground floor (particularly a messy pile of stuff that was quite well illuminated and distracting). Cropped (lit ceiling was in the shot too) then scaled and watermarked for the web.

I would really quite like to get some proper flash gear, but I do have fun with what I've got. my control of the spill wasn't very impressive - I didn't really want the room in the background to be lit. I'm not sure what I could have done, its possible I just don't have enough space to avoid light bounce.
