On the good side, the Olympics are fun to watch. On the bad side, Dad is back in the hospital and what’s going on is pretty scary. I don’t know if I’ll be hopping a plane soon or not.
Anyway, I played with my new toy in the backyard this morning using the silver reflector and diffuser panel to provide fill light against some pretty bright backgrounds. I used my flash to fill in what otherwise would have been dark shadows cast by the morning sun.
Sweetie left his work gloves in the wheelbarrow and a windstorm blew them out into the yard. We think Nina did this.
Grape leaves against the sky. I love that I didn’t blow out the sky and that the grape leaves in the shade were perfectly exposed.
Buddy is a bit camera-shy sometimes. He’ll sit still, but he doesn’t like to look at me when I’m holding the camera to my face.

Great shots! I like the one of the glove.The brightness of the grass contrasts nicely with the dull shades of the glove. 🙂
I’m sorry to hear about your dad. *hugs*

He’s hanging in there. They moved him out of ICU yesterday.

There is nothing neophytish about these photograhs! I agree that the grape shot is perfectly exposed which is not easy to do. I really like the profile of Buddy.
