Day 202 – This face . . .

. . . calms me.

Day 201 – Practicing with Speedlite

The day got away from me, but I wanted to play with my lights anyway. I got this little vise from our HR director. I thought it would be a useful tool to hold reflector cards (and it is). But today I gave lighting it a go. I lit it from camera right with my Speedlite using an umbrella and a diffuser panel. To the left, a white poster-board bounced some of the light back onto the vise.

For fun I also shot our Maneki-neko.

Day 200 – Nina’s Questions

Hey, what are you doing here? Aren’t you supposed to be at work?

You’re sick?

Working from home? What’s that?

Nevermind…

Can I pleeeeze get in your lap?

Day 199 – It’s not as it appears

They are playing. No growls, just funny high-pitched whines and snorty noises. But don’t these photos make them look fierce?

Day 198 – Flower or Feather?

Day 197 – Waiting For Their Flight

Day 196 – He always wears shoes like this

Theoretical physicist and best-selling author, Lawrence Krauss, speaking on “The Future, and Nothing” at The Amaz!ng Meeting.

Day 192.5 – We have to leave them for a while

Tomorrow morning we’ll be heading out the door for five days. They’ll be in good hands, but we’ll miss them. I got my to-dos done earlier than I thought so I pulled out my Speedlite and my reflector umbrella and set them up on the light stand. The cats were nowhere to be found, but the pups were available.

The heat of the day (100+ degrees today) had taken its toll on Buddy, and our big boy wasn’t interested in doing anything but lay out on the carpet.
