Nina looks like she’s about ready to say something to me. Normally Nina doesn’t look like this, but the set of her mouth reminds me of the cartoons I used to watch when I was a kid. They had the characters’ mouths move in a very human-like way using a technique known as Syncro-Vox. As a child I found it rather creepy.
Nina thought she looked better posing on the back of the mushroom sofa.

Working on that short focal length along with the new strobe.
85mm, f/1.8, 1/125s, ISO100
I bought a strobe (with a real live modeling light) and a decent-sized soft box. And of course, I’m practicing. These are pretty much how they came out of the camera with just minor processing.
As always, Nina makes a semi-willing subject. The nice thing about the strobe is that it recycles quickly, allowing me to make another shot almost immediately. The soft box provides a soft, but well-directed light.
Maya sat still for a few seconds. Thank goodness for the strobe’s quick recycle!
She’s looking a little twitchy in this one.
Zonked.
Just hanging out in the puppy lean-to.
