4th - Ziggy played guitar - Colin
by

For some reason the opening bars of Ziggy Stardust came into my head, hence the title.
Maybe I'm showing my age :-)

Shot with my handy "home disco" strobe plus 2cnd curtain flash diffused and bounced.
It took a few trys to get the balance right

Thanks for the comments, I put some notes on how is was taken in the caption.
Brent, Not just my family but their friends get involved too, sometimes requires a little persuasion or a bribe is required (generally a taxi ride somewhere for the teenagers) but usually they are happy to cooperate, especially if it involves making some mess.

It brings to mind the thought of so many musicians go into making the song we are playing and when you hit it right they all join in on the music (did that make sense?)

Cool shot - I like how you have pulled your family into your shots, Colin.

Uh oh - Colin's back at it with the strobe light. Great capture - what energy you have portrayed here!

You have taken my fan idea to a new and more creative level. I like this a lot how did you do this?
