These are taken in the kitchen sink, with the faucet dripping periodically, using a SB900 speed light on the remote setting on the right, and using the camera on a tripod using the infrared remote to engage the shutter. The most difficult part was to get the focus right because you have to focus in thin air where there is no droplet to begin with. This took about 300 shots to get 30-40 keepers. Quite pleased with the results, and like all budding photographers - had to get it out of my system. Still want to do the strawberry splashing into a milk bowl sometime - is just too messy for today :)</div><div><br /></div><div>I like the second picture as it kinda looks like a heart - no?</div><div><br /></div><div style="clear: both;"><a href="http://picasa.google.com/blogger/" target="ext"><img src="http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif" alt="Posted by Picasa" style="border: 0px none ;

I did not do my homework to schedule time in advance with the models - so was really left with 10-15 minutes between shoots to take some pictures. Did get some good ones. Got to try out my new Nikon sb-900, the umbrella and light stand I bought on Thursday. Also tried out the new Sigma f2.8 24-70 that just came out, and I have to say - looks like it is going back. The Nikon 18-200 was the sharpest - like this shot - I had to actually reduce the clarity to not see even more details on the skin. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div style="clear: both;"><a href="http://picasa.google.com/blogger/" target="ext"><img src="http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif" alt="Posted by Picasa" style="border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" align="middle" border="0" /></a></div>Ashhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02792088547042198929noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5280924551326903063.post-75007114842510198382009-02-23T00:12:00.002-05:002009-02-23T00:13:25.256-05:00Some more form Val's fashion shot<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisZABcxakHn1KFYmizmpW6kivfORODAZGozxYb6AW01uayvOEvGbFc2boKRD2zDvAvFN6cWIT9azTMxKBeoIyvlo9E0ABhuckUIikZraEeha2xUfWq14Yw-HmbObLtDG7XsEbwL9oNaBs/s1600-h/For+Blog8.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisZABcxakHn1KFYmizmpW6kivfORODAZGozxYb6AW01uayvOEvGbFc2boKRD2zDvAvFN6cWIT9azTMxKBeoIyvlo9E0ABhuckUIikZraEeha2xUfWq14Yw-HmbObLtDG7XsEbwL9oNaBs/s720/For+Blog8.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><div><br /></div><div>Some more selected pics from the photo shoot, picked out while watching the Oscars!
