A photographic studio is not only a place where there are too many cables on the floor. It could also be an excuse to find a lot of useful web links:
- High Speed Sync for flash at any shutter speed
- Almost Free DIY Paper Diffuser (Strobist)
- High Speed Photography Studio at Home
- You also have several options to build your own flash accessories from paper:
- Black Straws Snoot Grid: Part 1 and Part 2
- Macro Lighting LED Ring
- Smarten Up Your Dumb Optical Slave By Hooking it Up With Arduino
And finally, why not let yourself be inspired by all this and experiment a little with droplets like Edgerton.
