Strobist info: 580 EX with an "Egg Yolk Yellow" gel and a snoot, camera left (with my hacked OCSC II ),
and my brand new 430 EXII at 1/128 power, right where you can see it.
Shot to test and learn the Canon remote flash control in manual mode.
Works great, as long as the slave...

I shot today’s photo quite late in the evening, so decided to build a quick bokeh setup.
Butterflies created using white Christmas tree lights and the bokeh master’s set.
The out of focus wire between the lights created an illusion of evaporating coffee.
There’s definitely some potential in this idea, I have to spend a little...

Attended a London Strobist Meetup today. The focus this time was on product and closeup photography, using off camera flash.
As you can see, we had a lot of fun ;-)
Strobist info: I shot a couple of frames with available light (this one being technically the poorest), but for this particular one...

It’s time to pack away all the winter gear for now. While doing that, I quickly put together a little “Alien” ;-)

As it turns out Nemo is Latin for “nobody, no one” and in this context is part of the “Nemo me impune lacessit” motto (No one attacks me with impunity).

Offer’s in. Waiting for an “Aye or Nay”…
Strobist info: since the iPhone is a tricky thing to light, I surrounded it with small white reflectors and fired a 580 EX from high camera right into the highest reflector positioned on the left. Hope it makes some sense…

So far, the 365 proves to be a constant battle with being too tired after work, to do some “proper” photography…
Hopefully with the arrival of Spring, I’ll get more energetic.
It’s day 50, and I pretty much shot a close up of every item at home.
I hope Spring comes soon.
BTW, one day, I’ll be...
