Vanishing - [CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE STROBIST KIND]

Close encounters of the weird kind...

Made position 218 in Explore. Thanks for looking!

Made for the MKF April Challenge and based on the scene in Close Encounters where little Barry gets abducted by aliens. I wanted a really Neon feel here. I wish I had gotten a little more colour from inside the washer though. Other than the borders, its as it came out of the camera.

MKF April Challenge

Strobist Info:
- Vivitar 283 Varipower on 1/4 in washing machine drum with coloured material
- Vivitar 283 varipower at 1/2 power + blue gel behind camera bounced off ceiling to avoid reflections in kitchen units
- triggered with Phottix Cleon remote shutter in my left hand.
- Large alien mothership inside washing machine adding ambient light and five weird musical tones whilst my daughter screamed along
