365.55 Wino (3rd Attempt): Take it Easy…



365.55 Wino (3rd Attempt): Take it Easy…

I’ve been sober for almost 2 years.

But some days, I really feel like tying one on…

Maybe tomorrow. For now, though, it’s clean up the mess I made making this mediocre (at best) picture, then it’ll be dinnertime (it’s already way past…), and then time to relax so I can have a good night’s sleep and start all over again tomorrow. Hooray.

D7000, Sigma 30mm f/1.4, ISO100, 1/100th, f/1.4. SB700, at full power and zoomed to 70mm, on its wide angle setting and firing through CerealBoxStripBox(tm) on a tripod outside the window at camera left (fyi, probably the most complex I’ve gotten with the whole strobing thing…).

Well, I probably won’t shoot this again, and I probably won’t submit one to Alex Koloskov and Dave Nitsche’s Studio Photography Insights Hangout, as I’m in no way satisfied with any of the three attempts I’ve made thus far. Oh well: I’ve learned some things, I think, and that’s what counts!
