Love my boy

He seems to be getting used to my camera. Either that or he loves me enough to want to stick close. So while Nina was nosing around on the perimeter, I grabbed some lovely shots of my big boy yesterday.  By the way, I shot these setting my own white balance using Kelvin rather than my ExpoDisc (which I still love) or the automatic white balance (never use) or any of the presets (nearly never use now) and did not have to adjust my white balance at all in post production. I’m really getting the hang of it, and it’s made my post-production so much easier!

Taken on a very cloudy day (post rain storm) at about 6pm at night. ISO640, 50mm, ~1/125 sec, f/1.4.  Kelvin set at 7050.

Quick post

I’ve been very busy the past couple of days…

I shot a wedding on Saturday, had a newborn session on Sunday, and am doing a portrait session tonight. In addition, I need to prep for a workshop I’m participating in next Saturday. Apologies for the blog neglect.  Will a photo of my handsome boy help to make up for it?

Red, Gray, and Blue

A couple of shots of the critters from this past weekend while testing out my Gary Fong Lightsphere Universal flash diffuser.  I think I’ve finally found the perfect modifier for my flash.  Look how soft that light is! All were taken with the  flash on camera. (gasp!!)

I liked the Universal so much, I’ve gone ahead and purchased the Lightsphere® Collapsible™ G5 Lighting Kit: Fashion & Commercial. Can’t wait to take it through its paces and really learn the ins and outs of the system.

A year of self #45 – Hanging with the critters

Honestly, this is just an excuse to post photos of my fur babies.

Nina and me…hanging in the guest bedroom . . .

As is usually the case, the other three eventually followed me in there.

Another one of Nina, for good measure
