Washing day – P365 Feb04

An unusual perspective on the household chore.

I’ve already done the fridge, the microwave and the dishwasher. The washing machine doesn’t seem so odd then after all, does it?

I put the camera in the machine on the bottom (a pain to balance!), and the 580EX flash next to it. The Vivitar flash was on the bench to my right set to 1/4. The flash inside the bowl wasn’t illuminating my face enough and one side was being lit more than the other. I needed to use a diffuser, but I don’t have one of those Sto-Fen diffusers. So I just chucked a white plastic food container over the flash and bumped up the power to 1/4. With the camera set to self timer, I pressed the shutter, grabbed a handfull of clothes, and put on my typical “washing day” expression. Don’t worry, I took the camera gear out before I put the machine on :P
