Day 205 – Puppy Portraits

Today was an incredibly busy day. I didn’t stop from 6am until I got home at about 10pm, so I turned to my critters for inspiration tonight. I set up the Speedlite, grabbed a reflector card and got Nina to “sit” on her blanket.  She did good.

All were shot at 400 ISO, f/5.6, 1/15 sec.  Speedlite behind me to camera left, reflector card (white poster board in the vise) very close to Nina on the right and just out of frame.

Day 49 – Water!

Joanna has inspired me to play with water.  This is a travel mug turned upside down in the sink. I let the water run over it and shot it at ISO 100 f/5.6 at 1/200s using flash.  In this particular shot, the water was streaming at the back of the cup forcing a small wall of water to spray of from the rim.  This was quite fun and as with all experiments, I got a bit of an education. I’ll return to this topic again. Thanks Joanna!
