Devil's Dice

“And I say unto you, squander not your time in the gaming houses and the bars. Beware the Devil’s Dice my friend, and their firey tails from Hell. Resist their ivory temptation, for you can never win at Satan’s Chance. I stand before you and declare: the Devil’s work is everywhere.” (A. Lietold, 1796-1842)

    You know I love these!! Excellent!

  • AJM Photography replied

    Thanks Pamela! It’s all going very slowly as I have to reprocess everything – my workflow has been modified significantly recently and so anything more than a few weeks old needs redoing. And of course the quality of some of my older shots is quite low compared with what comes out of the D300.

    Very nicely captured. I think this is what is called 2nd curtain flash.
    Hope I am right. Excellent in any case.

  • AJM Photography replied

    Exactly so – “second curtain” or “rear curtain”. Many thanks.

    Many thanks, Sheila. This was the first time I had worked with rear curtain flash and I developed the idea over a couple of days. Seeing this image featured is a lovely surprise!

  • AJM Photography replied

    Wow – that is amazing!

    I started off trying to recreate an image I had seen elsewhere, but the dice had other ideas and led me to a somewhat different concept. How wonderful to see it on the front page!
