365.52 Point of Impact, part 7: Liquid Metal

Aluminum roasting pans were on sale at the Fiesta for $1 each, so I bought a rectangular one and an oval one… I wondered what the grooves and ridges in the pans would do for the light, and I got my answer: they make it Awesome! This setup was rather complex: the SB700 (on the …

365.51 Point of Impact, part 6: Obelisk

And this was the most frustrating one yet… 68 shots (all virtually identical, unless you’re me and after something relatively specific) in, I knocked over the cheap old tripod that was holding the snooted SB700 and Cactus V5 trigger onto the fancy tile in the kitchen. Bye Bye Cactus trigger; Hello D7000 Commander Mode, with …

365.50 Point of Impact, part 5: Small Craft on Milky Sea

And once again, this took a long time… And once again, I’m too tired to say anything about this shot… D7000, Nikon 75-150 f/3.5 Series E at 150mm (~225 equivalent), ISO100, 1/250th, f/22, SB-700 at 1/2 power, fired into the CerealBoxStripBox(tm) with its diffuser in place, triggered with Cactus v5 system.

365.46 Point of Impact (1)

This is the passenger side door handle from my beloved (and no-longer-extant) 1970 Volkswagon Beetle—a plain Beetle, none of that ‘super’ stuff—that was destroyed by a nice woman in a 1984 Ford Bronco in 1998 or 1999. I’m not really sure of the date any more… I think the police must have brought me the …
