Colourful Canal the Art of Recycling

212/365, a photo by mwhcvt on Flickr.

This photo or maybe I should say photo's was taken for my 212th photo of the day as part of my on going Challenge 365 for 2011.

This is actually made up of 59 exposures each lasting 15 seconds, I know 59 is a rather odd number but what can I say I lost count, it was meant to be made up of 60 exposures :D

So how did I get these colours, this is where the recycling part comes into play, the colours come from plastic salvaged from empty drinks bottle's, I think it worked very well....

The lighting was done using my Canon 430EX2 in hand fired using the pilot button, the flash was set to 1/16 power as I found if full power was used it just burned the colour out of the filters...

I have to thank Darrell for his hard work running around doing the lighting under my direction :D
