Project 59: Concentrating Light

This is a technique I plan to make more use of, and will perhaps incorporate it in my assignment on artificial light.

As a first go, I used my flashgun and a long rolled up tube of black card to form a very long "snoot". I chose a slightly unimaginative subject of my son tucked up in bed, a sight very special to me but probably not to anyone else. The contrast was a bit strong for this image, but it created something a bit different to a snap of my son asleep. I would like to try this effect in daylight, where the extra focused beam draws attention to something without looking too much like a torch light.
