Tulip

Tulip via picasa, originally uploaded by BreatheInDigital.

Here's another shot of some flowers. Tuplips, perhaps? I love the fact that it's Spring, but I love even more the fact that soon I won't be limited to natural light photos.

This week I ordered the following:

Nikkor 50mm F/1.8D lens (better for portraits, and, well, shots like this one)
2 sb-600 flash units, complete with colored gels, some stands, diffusers and an umbrella
Cactus v4 remote flash triggers, so I can command both of my flashes remotely.

This means that shots in the future are going to be more subject oriented (dominant images are a good thing), will involve more portraiture, and will look more (I hope) like professional photos due to the use of creative light placement.

Spring is Here

I'm going to start posting here through Flickr, which will encourage me to use my Flickr account more. Thusly, clicking on photos will now take you to my Flickr account. You can also see all my EXIF data the there.

When I woke up yesterday morning, I looked out my window and saw this Dandelion. I decided I must absolutely take a photo of it. Unfortunately, my ISO level was still set to 800 from some darker shots I had tried the night before, so the background is a little on the "noisy" side.
