All Natural

The last moments, originally uploaded by RLHyde [breatheindigital].

I looked out of my patio door and saw this great lighting, so I had to take advantage of it. This was taken from inside my living room (had the camera on a tripod, triggered with a remote trigger). It was kind of weird having my sliding glass and screen doors wide open with a camera pointed toward my neighbors, but I don't think they noticed. And besides, it's not like I was taking pictures of them. Totally.

Behind the break is a pic of just the patio, sans me. Click on "Read More" to see it.

This is a tribute to my water bottle. If you've ever seen me anywhere, then you've probably seen me with this water bottle. It's been dented, scuffed, inadvertantly slammed into the ground, it's become a projectile in my car during hard stops, and it's been left behind more than once.

But mostly, it's been loved.

I don't have my remote triggers yet, but that's not stopping me from playing with my new gear. To imitate having a flash firing into a flash umbrella off camera, I put one of my new sb-600 flashes on top of my camera (only way I can get it to fire), set up my flash umbrella to the upper left of this shot, and swiveled the head of the flash so that it was firing into the umbrella. I would have liked to have been able to use my second flash to fill the background or create some more contrast on the image, but you work with what you have, right?

This one looks best in the large format, so click on it and then click on "all sizes" at the top of the image on Flickr.

I work outa da home

I've had some time to sit around and do nothing, so I photographed a few pretty things around the apartment. Note to self: must dust!
