What camera did you use?
Canon 550d

What settings did you use?
Manual Mode: F 2.5, Shutter 1/2000, ISO 200

What inspired this shot?
I wanted to produce a photo that visually displayed sound. My first idea was to have powder rushing past my friend whilst playing guitar. That proved too difficult. Whilst listening to music with my headphones, the idea struck me.
Did you edit this image, if so what did you do and with what program? I used Adobe Lightroom to brighten some dark spots and saturate the powder.

Do you have any advice for our community of photographers?
Stay curious.

Where was this photo taken?
It was taken in my backyard. I put a white sheet up on the fence, my sister knelt down behind my friend and threw 2 cups of crushed chalk.
