I was looking for something on my old hard drive and remembered this. I had my Canon 600D for a while and had bought 2 Yongnuo manual flashes but this was first time i used it for a portrait photoshoot. Photos were taken in 2015.
Some of you maybe heard about EXIT music festival. They organised a contest together with Tuborg and the prize was 4 VIP passes for the whole four days of the festival. In that period Tuborg launched bottles with this colorful bottle caps and the goal was to include the caps and make a photo to enter the contest.
So one evening i was chatting in the park with a friend of mine about the festival and how there is a contest, so i went home to get the gear and he called his girlfriend and went home to pick up the caps (there was an option to collect them for free beer and stuff) and the play could begin.
So he was throwing caps in the air, i was trying to get the right moment in the pitch black and then geather the caps and repeat, a lot of times. a lot lot of times :D
Ended up not winning the VIP passes but we bought tickets for one day as we all wanted to hear Manu Chao.
Photograph that won the contest
source (don't know who took it, found it yesterday by 15min search on all kinds of networks)
I can say that we were a bit disappointed with the winning photo (ok we were very disappointed :D ). And to write this in the blockchain forever, we did not even receive the glowing glasses that were promised to all participants. Shame on you Tuborg :D
