I’m wholly dissatisfied with today’s 365 efforts, but I’ve been at it for 5 hours, and it’s now time to join some neighbors for tea, so here’s my favorite of the 80 awful, uninspired, completely blah photos I shot of 4 different subjects. Needless to say, I find this one rather meh. Sigma 30mm 1.4, …

365.31 The Motherlode
Nikon D7000, Nikkor 50mm 1.8G, deliberately defocused, ISO100, 1/250th sec. @ f/1.8. SB-700 zoomed to 50mm, 1/128th power, on Cactus V5 trigger handheld lower camera right, diffused with a sheet of drawing paper.
365.30 Afternoon (De)Light #2

The shaft of light is a reflection of the sun, bouncing off of a decorative glass railing on the second floor landing across from the courtyard. Since I started shooting, I’ve become much …

365.28 Supernova
And this is the fastest 365 shoot yet… 7 shots of the inside of the CerealBoxStripBox and this was number 7, straight out of the camera (or as straight out of the camera as it can be, given that I shoot RAW and downsized this from 4928×3264 to 800×530…) I think this captures the light …
365.27 Stop Popping that Damn Flash in My Face!
Ladies & Gentlemen, meet Olive. She’s really very very sweet, and terribly fluffy, but she would prefer to nap without being interrupted by a SB-700 popping in her face, even when it’s popping through a cereal-box strip-box. Oh well.
