A gridded snoot

Light through strawsOne of the projects that I am working on at the moment is to produce images of woodland, countryside and wildlife at night. I have spent such a lot of time over the years photographing our nocturnal wildlife, but looking at the resulting images, you wouldn’t know that they were taken in twilight, or even darkness.

I am hoping that a light modifier on the flash on my camera so that it produces a narrow beam of light – like most torches – will enable images which are obviously taken at night. So I am putting the finishing touches to a gridded snoot, assembled from a section of drainpipe, a box of black drinking straws, a beercan cooler and superglue.

If it helps me to get some good results, it may merit an item on the website.
