Flash experiments

This week we got the title for this new photography unit, and one of my ideas for it was to combine natural and man-made things, like photographing a plant with a bright flash and that sort of thing. Then after my interview at a university yesterday I looked at some of the work by the person who interviewed me and it just so happens that they've done a similar thing. (have a look here, in the still life section) So that inspired me to have my first attempt tonight, and this is an example of what I ended up with.
