Strobism with Gary Eddleston
Monday, December 28th, 2009
Christmas Bank Holiday. Fantastic. Another day in the way of the life… not even the chippies were open. Depressing. Thankfully, Mr Gary Eddleston from ‘near Liverpool’ but not ‘South Liverpool’ doesn’t work bank holidays.
We started the day off with a slippery trip to Etherow Park, at Compstall, Stockport. The hide was full on arrival so we went for a wander in Ernocroft Wood.. got bored and headed back to the now empty hide. We set up our perch and laid some seed out for the birds.. and it was business as usual! Even Gary got some shots 
The cold set in after lunch time and we decided on some lunch. Lunch was had. Next up?
Strobism! I took Gary to the deserted Reddish Vale, at the Denton end and we found some snow and funky trees and had a play with some off camera flash – the sunsetting was just lucky, but as ever.. we weren’t quite lucky enough to catch the best bit!
The attached shot consists of a reflective umbrella, high to camera left and fill provided with a shoot through umbrella, low to camera right. Wonderful!
