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.

365.41 Maneki Neko
I started out today’s 365 time with plans on doing some more multiple exposure experiments, intending to try to make this little Maneki Neko figure look as if it was lit by multiple strobes, even though I have only the one SB-700.

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.
365.27 Stop Popping that Damn Flash in My Face!
