For once, weeding was not entirely pointless. I had been clearing up the garage, which morphed into some weeding. Out on the road were some blokes putting down some new roadmarkings. I headed over and had a chat, and they were very helpful - even lending me a safety vest.

They use a blower to clean the surface as much as possible, then lay the markings down, then use the blowtorch to seal it down on the road.

I shot a variety of apertures and times, up to 5 seconds. Also used the flash (550EX) a fair bit, usually at about 1/2 or 1/4 power.

Good fun.
