Hi All,
I’ve finally found a great blog template, so I will no longer be publishing to wordpress.com.
I’ve imported all my posts from this site to the new location, so come check it out!!!
Please bookmark my new blog site:
See you all there! 🙂
Thanks!

Played around with some light a while back, as I needed to exercise my “lighting chops” a bit.
Background light here is courtesy of one kitchen colander, which I thought made a pretty cool vortex-like pattern.
Main light is provided by one shoot thru umbrella in reflective mode.
It’s good to finally be back on the blog after many many months! I’m proud to say that we have also added a new addition to our family, so needless to say we have been swamped.
This past summer, my sister & niece came to stay with us for a couple weeks. It was beautiful summer weather, which gave us the opportunity to spend a lot of time outdoors.
Here are some of my favorites…
Cheers!

Before firing up the grill one evening, I decided to experiment and take a few photos. This was taken in our backyard with trees, shrubbery, and all
(gotta love the inverse square law here). Face painting was courtesy of our day trip to the local zoo. I think the artwork added some nice lines here.
Tech Specs:
Top 3 photos were all natural lighting.
The bottom was shot with off camera lighting:
Canon 5D
85mm f1.8
ISO 100
1/125 @ 7.1
Main Light – 580EXII into shoot-thru-umbrella
Hair/Rim Light – Nikon SB26 with 1/4 or 1/2 cut CTO gel

This last weekend I spent a lot of time catching up on some well needed rest, but I was determined to get out and take a few pics!
Tooth or nail, I was getting outside to get some fresh air and to feel the sun on my back.
After finishing up a few things around the house, I threw on my duds, grabbed my camera, and set out through the neighborhood and into the woods for my first ever GOYA.
(I probably should be on GOYA MCMLXXXVIII by now, but hey, I had to officially start somewhere :)
I have to say after being out for 1.5-2 hours, it was just what I needed to wrap up the weekend. After a bit of a slow start, things began to fall in place, and I felt right at home behind the lens.
I decided to use my trusty 5D, a 35mm f1.4, the late afternoon sun, and a 12mm extension tube, to provide a bit of variety.
Well, ’nuff said, on with the show…. 🙂
