P365 Jun12: Backlit Lum

Nothing terribly exciting today. I thought I'd experiment with backlighting a subject with remote flash. I got one of my larger anime figurines as a subject and tried to arrange things so that it hid the flash behind. I didn't quite succeed. That's the flash you can see between her legs. The front was lit using a white card as a reflector. The effect works reasonably well, but would be much better with a human-sized subject I'm sure.

This camera's sensor has never been cleaned... Can you tell? This pic is just of white card and set to show the dirt up as much as possible. I've been afraid to clean the chip myself, but sending it to the manufacturer to clean is both expensive and takes my camera away from me for probably a week. I guess I'll have to bite the bullet and buy some cleaning swabs. Editing fuzzy black blobs out of most of my photos is becoming a real pain.
