space invaders - under attack

    A bunch of space invaders attacking me with their laser guns.
    For the technical bit, the space invaders are made with a 430EX strobe with a stencil (cardboard box cut in the middle and placed over the flash so the light only goes through the cut out shape). My face is also lit by the same 430EX flash. The shot took 30 seconds.

      Hum ... tough question ... I don't remember exactly, but I would say something quite low like 1/32 or 1/64 would do just fine. The flash is behind a sheet of paper so it decreases the power quite a bit already.
