My first try with off camera strobes. Well, One strobe, an Ewolux 9800A, semi-automatic. There is no way to set this strobe in manual mode (it hasn't got any). Instead, I set it to full power and vary the distance between strobe and subject. Still, this worked out nocely - as if a streak of light hits the mushrooms. Luckily, I received two Yongnuo's to be able to play a bit more with light. Now I have to wait for my camera that is at a repair centre to fix a serious back-focus issue.

I've seen a similar technique used by another photographer, Gerrit de Jong, and I find the resulting images quite interesting and inspiring...
