Exposure: 1/250 at f/9.5, focal length 47mm (1.6 crop factor), iso 200.
2 off camera Speedlites, with diffusers, one pointing from the front (her right) and the other one from the side (her back) through the shower glass.
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.

I submitted this image to JPG Magazine for their theme titled “Growing up”.

Anyway, they left me a lot of positive comments and also set it as a favorite 55 times which made me really happy.
This is a candid snapshot. The children didn’t know I was there (except the one covering her eyes).
Taken with a 10mm fisheye lens, 1/125 sec at f/2.8, iso 100, Speedlite bounced to ceiling.
Color-processed to black and white.
