Way to go Joshua! This is superb! Was wondering how you got the bounce on your feet and read comments below - foil on the floor. Nice job, congrats on making it a reality. Very inspirational work indeed.

Cheers
Rina.

Close, it was actually a piece of foil that I taped to my hand. Basically the whole thing was a bunch of black sheets, two stools, some foil on the floor and the piece in my hand. And my awesome Speedlight 420EX! 8o)
