Taking selfies on collodion is not an easy discipline 🤓 Basically, you have to control your 3 hands or two hands and one leg 🦶🏻
Now I admire drummers even more, how they can synchronize their hands and feet to make everything work as it should. For this photo, I needed to test the newly mixed Poe Boy collodion, so I took a picture of myself again 😊
If I exclude about 0.5 hours of preparation, which is not that long because I know what it's all about, the actual photoshoot took quite a while, about 10 minutes. Just for your information: in one hand I hold the exposure meter, through which I fire one flash🔥, in the other hand I hold the trigger, through which they fire the second flash🔥🔥 and I have the shutter open with one foot - after about 8 seconds of exposure I have to press the shutter button again with my foot🦶🏻 to close the shutter. That's all, how easy 😅

Taking a selfie on a collodion is not an easy discipline 🤓 Basically you have to control your 3 hands resp. two hands and one foot 🦶🏻
Now I admire drummers all the more, how they can synchronize their arms and legs so that everything works as it should. For this photo, I needed to test the newly mixed Poe Boy collodion, so I took pictures of myself again 😊
When I spend about 0.5 hours of preparation, which is not such a long time because I know what it's all about, the photo shoot itself took a total of about 10 minutes. Just for info: in one hand I hold an exposure meter, through which I fire one flash 🔥, in the other hand I hold a launcher, through which they fire the other flash 🔥🔥 and one leg I have pressed the open shutter – after exposure about 8 s I have to press the foot shutter again to make the shutter she closed. That's all how easy 😅
