Tried cooking one of mom's old recipes. 430EXII in the pot, triggered wirelessly.

Self portrait of the day. Rigged a 430EXII to the inside of the shoot through umbrella and cranked up the water sprinkler in the house... voila. Actually - plexiglass with some water sprayed on.

The Artist. Caught him at Bakerstreet in Sugarland. Sadly, he does not do portraits for anybody - only does it as a hobby and to relax.

The cliche' water shot. Bare EX580II into a blue background at 1/16 power in order to freeze the action.

Quickie lighting. Shoot through camera right and very low power shoot through just off axis to soften shadows.

My view when playing Rice Village Bakerstreet


Cross lighting with sun. Underexposed the background (2 stops). Lit Jay with a single EX580II bare to compete with sun camera right (see nice shawdow on his shorts...yuck), Still, I thought the effect with the wide angle was kind of cool.



A couple of prom shots. Didn't have time to set up much in the way of lighting - the limo was due to arrive fairly quickly, so I put them in the shade, exposed for background, and lit them with a 24"x24" softbox camera left, with a gobo to reduce light coming through the trees. In hindsight, should have underexposed the background a couple of stops. Live/learn...

Dancing at Bakerstreet. The effect of white balancing for the flash (580EXII bottom right) causes the orange hue of the background. This is caused by the tungsten lighting in the bar. I didn't have any gels at the time, but like the way it separates the dancers from the rest of the scene.

Bran was lit with a 580EXII through a shoot through umbrella, camera right, and with a 430EXII bare, behind her to provide the rim lighting.

This is a night shot taken against the waterfall at Woodlands riverwalk. I used a 1/2 sec exposure and zoomed on the ambient light to get the streak effect. Jay was lit with a 580EXII w/shoot through umbrella camera left.
