Strobe Photography

My friend Walter ( Kitundu) made a funky mechanical strobe using a disposable camera. We got a really good shot one night using the Golden Gate bridge as a backdrop. I also tried using it to take pictures of a soap bubble as it pops. Click on the picture to see more photos:

Strobe pictures are always interesting, and it’s much easier to set up than I thought. MakeZine has really good instructions on how to bend the circuits of a disposable camera and make a motion triggered flashlight(pdf).
