Paid yet another visit to the school where I taught English for twenty years, to take a few more planned shots. I used two SpeedLights for this one: one inside the booklet and the other I held in my left hand, aiming for the cover. Took a few attempts, but we managed one we all quite liked in the end.
I’ve done this ‘light coming out of a book’ shot enough times now for it to have reached Cliché status, but hey – if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. (PS: We study whole Shakespeare plays. This booklet was just being used for the pretty illustrations and because it was big enough to hide the SpeedLight inside!)

Great effect again!
You really are too kind – but thank you again. (I’m just getting the hang of the way this blog works, but apologies if I get something wrong.)
