Setup Shots

Desert Rain Setup

Strobist Information: I was going through some old pictures, trying to fix my perennial problem of never having enough disk space when I came across this shot from my Desert Rose shoot. I had been playing around squirting water on the stones and flower with a small hand held plant sprayer when I remembered that we had a bigger outdoor weed sprayer in the garage. I went and grabbed it and tried taking a few shots while the sprayer was running. I had wanted to try and create the illusion of rain but unfortunately the mist was too fine and it didn't really look like rain. I dismissed the picture at the time and didn't even bother taking a setup shot. Looking at the picture again later, I decided I really quite liked it and decided to try shooting it again. I recreated the setup and took a lot of new shots. When I went through them however, none quite matched up to the original so I have posted it here along with the setup shot from the new shoot.
