Family's First Digital Camera

My family's first digital camera! It was there for my little sisters birth and infancy but since then ceased writing to the card. It was wonderful, it even took tiff files.

Put down the camera!...slowly

It's crunch time for exams. The only thing i can think about is Economics right now. I'll sneak in some reading of The Hot Shoe Diaries here in there, ssshhhh.

Get It Right in Camera

Nothing is better than getting it right in camera. It saves you time when you download the images to your computer and a sense of reward is felt. This one taken by my little sister.

Strobist: SB-600 shot through umbrella on light stand at about 5ft. The flash was triggered by the on-camera flash.

Welcome the Watermark

This image above is sporting my brand new, hot off the press watermark. The photo is of my work horse and beloved Nikon 18-200 VRI. The images was taken with a SB-600 shot through an umbrella.

It's time to protect my work.

Macro with my new umbrella!

Got a Nikon Pro Umbrella Kit and I love it. Nothing is better than soft light!

Strobist: Nikon SB-600 shot through an umbrella camera left at about 5ft. Flash was triggered wirelessly by the on camera flash.
