Day 126 - Anticipation

ISO 100 f/32 1/200s 1 snooted SB-26 @ 85mm 1/4th & -2/3 power high camera left triggered with Pocket Wizard Plus IIs.

This is a photo of the center of one of my sunflowers planted earlier this year. I have been anticipating the arrival of this years sunflowers since last years flower slumped their heads after only a few days due to the unusually hot Alabama summer.

I have also been anticipating many other things; such as the sell of my photographic equipment and purchase of next lens. As much as I would love a macro lens the toss up is now between a Tokina 11-16mm ultra-wide angle lens and a Nikon 10.5mm fisheye. We will see what the next week brings.

until tomorrow,
enjoy

Day 125 - Cinco de Mayo 2012





























ISO 100 f/32 1/200s SB-26s right and left @ 85mm 1/8th power and 1 SB-800 @ 17mm 1/4th power from underneath diffused through white paper triggered with pocket wizard plus IIs.

So I posted this a day early, but if I do go out tomorrow there will be no way I could pull this shot off after a few drinks.

This shot didn't take as long to set up the lights as I thought, but I did invest a lot of time cleaning the aquarium and still had extra work in post to clean up floating debris. The timing was more challenging than I expected, and it was hard not to rotate the label of the bottle when dropping the beer into the water. Holding the beer and lime in one hand also proved to be a challenge, but I am pleased with the results.

until tomorrow,
happy cinco de mayo
