This was my inspiration for today’s photo.

After dinner tonight I set my tripod up in the backyard and it didn’t take Nina too long to give me an idea. She loves to nose around in these boards for lizards and so I just sat there and waited. I used my flash, with the LumiQuest bounce attachment. My shutter speed was a bit slow, hence the motion-blur in the exposures.  Post production was quite time-consuming, with lots of “Oh, Phooeys” and start-overs, but all-in-all this was a lot of fun!
