The idea for this came quickly, but took many tries to execute (poorly). It looks better as a thumbnail, fyi. D7000, 75-150mm f/3.5 E Series at 150mm (225mm equivalent), ISO100, 1/10th, f/16, SB700 at 1/4 power, zoomed out to 28mm set to it’s wide beam setting, about 3 feet from the subject maybe 10 inches …

365.53 Wino (first attempt)
Even though I’m always already asleep by the time their Studio Photography Insights hangout starts, I’m still going to try my hand at Alex Koloskov and Dave Nitsche‘s weekly project. This is my first attempt (but not my last: the next will have to wait) at shooting this week’s assignment, an unopened bottle of red …
365.52 Point of Impact, part 7: Liquid Metal
Aluminum roasting pans were on sale at the Fiesta for $1 each, so I bought a rectangular one and an oval one… I wondered what the grooves and ridges in the pans would do for the light, and I got my answer: they make it Awesome! This setup was rather complex: the SB700 (on the …

365.48 Point of Impact – part 2 – Ist es nicht sehr schön?

365.43 Buddha and the Comet
I feel like I’m going backwards. Forty-three days in and this is what I show up with? Jeez. D7000, Nikon 75-150 f/3.5 E Series at ~135mm, ISO100, 8 seconds, f/8.
365.41 Maneki Neko
I started out today’s 365 time with plans on doing some more multiple exposure experiments, intending to try to make this little Maneki Neko figure look as if it was lit by multiple strobes, even though I have only the one SB-700. I took about 20 multiple exposures (60 shots) holding the SB-700 with a …
