Old and New II

A second attempt at the film + flash memory still life photo.

Pentax K-x - 1/2 * 5 sec - f/? - ISO 200 - ~82mm

5 exposures using multiple exposure mode. Fired a flash each time, I think one missed. Each pop was from a manually triggered Achiever300DX. Two were bounced off a reflector (approx A4) from each side of the camera toward the subject. Two were aimed at the background with the reflector acting as a gobo to stop it directly hitting the subject.

Used GIMP to adjust levels, crop, scale and watermark for web.

It was fun to play with the K-x's multiple exposure mode. It'll be an interesting one to keep in mind.
I'd like to have yet another go with this shot. I feel I rather over did the background and underdid the subjects. Also, the lighting is really flat and boring.
