Once again, not happy, but oh well. I’m not happy with much of anything today: nothing in the way of sleep last night… Oh well. I did mess around with this a bit: cloning, cropping, etc. D7000, 50mm 1.8, ISO100, 1/80th, F/1.8, snooted SB700 high camera right, aimed at the label, at ~1/64th power, iirc.

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 …

365.51 Point of Impact, part 6: Obelisk
And this was the most frustrating one yet… 68 shots (all virtually identical, unless you’re me and after something relatively specific) in, I knocked over the cheap old tripod that was holding the snooted SB700 and Cactus V5 trigger onto the fancy tile in the kitchen. Bye Bye Cactus trigger; Hello D7000 Commander Mode, with …
365.50 Point of Impact, part 5: Small Craft on Milky Sea
And once again, this took a long time… And once again, I’m too tired to say anything about this shot… D7000, Nikon 75-150 f/3.5 Series E at 150mm (~225 equivalent), ISO100, 1/250th, f/22, SB-700 at 1/2 power, fired into the CerealBoxStripBox(tm) with its diffuser in place, triggered with Cactus v5 system. And, once again, the …

365.48 Point of Impact – part 2 – Ist es nicht sehr schön?
And this one really was fun! And it went quickly too! I did tear half the apartment apart to get the camera in a position to shoot it, but that’s my own fault for not yet having a proper shooting platform set up: soon, probably not this month due to work-related time constraints, but soon. …

365.47 Point of Impact, part 2: Dizzy
Well, this was a fun one… D7000, Nikkor 10-24mm f/3.5 – 4.5 at 10mm (15mm equivalent), ISO100, 1/60th, f/6.3; SB-700 with its Florescent filter thing, at 1/4 power, camera left, triggered with Cactus v5 trigger. I don’t do much with the 10-24 unless I’m shooting real estate, and this photo shows it! Wow. I need …
