Bats Attack!
“Bats Attack!”
Mexican free-tail bats.
Shot at Austin, TX., from under Congress Avenue Bridge, where this bat colony – the largest urban bat colony in North America (estimated at 1.5 million) – shows up every night from mid-March to November.
Of course they are black/brown but when I burned them with the speedlite they get that weird glow.
Exposure: 1/30 sec at f/4.0, iso 400, focal length: 99mm (1.6 crop).
Speedlite diffused pointed straight at the bats.

BBQ at Night (Preparando el Asado)
Shot at night, hand held, manual exposure, 1/30 sec at f/4.0, focal length:35mm (1.6x), Speedlite at top left, with diffuser in a gorillapod.
The idea was to make a night shot with some sort of dramatic light and use the smoke to give some mood.
Comments and suggestions are welcome and appreciated.
