Oranges and the Giralda, Sevilla



I am trying to create a set of images that are typical photos from Seville, for the magazine Lifetimes.




In the following weeks I will be adding more, I am planning to go the Palacio Alcazar and the gardens, also the Feria will be starting on the 20th April.
The photos were taken using two tripods, yes two, one for the camera, and the other for the flash, the flash was connected to the camera via an extension cable, the flash was needed to light the orange trees. I have discovered that if you are using this set up, it is a good idea, to put a weight on the tripod, so that it does not fall over when you stretch the cable between the camera and the flash.


I modified my tripods by fitting a Snap Bolt Key Ring to each tripod, one of the tripods did not have catch to attach the key ring, so drilled a 4mm hole in the bottom of the centre column, I then threaded the key ring though one side, I used the camera bag as the weight, and it worked brilliantly.
