P52W18 - 40+30

Sunday, May 09, 2010 | |


Canon 40D with Sigma 30mm F1.4. This is my walk-around DLSR combo. I use it 80% of the time. And I even brought it to work almost every day before the LX3 came along.

Speaking of the LX3, this is my second Project 52 entry using the little guy. I'm definitely loving it's strobist potential!


P52W11 - The Bar!

Sunday, March 21, 2010 | |


It was already half-empty when I found it, I swear!

The bottle was on top of an inverted plastic bowl that contained the 430EX (full power). There was also a snooted 285HV (full power) camera right, to light up the label.

Blooper: So I was using an aerosol spray to get the mist around the bottle... I had shot several frames before I realized that I was also spraying water on the flash! Thank God I didn't try water splashes!

P52W08 - Football!

Sunday, February 28, 2010 | |


Shot this while watching the CNN live stream on the 8.8 magnitude earthquake in Chile, and the tsunami that's rushing across the Pacific. My prayers go out to all the people affected.

I have a small Nerf football in the office which I occasionally throw around to help me think and de-stress. Back in December I thought I'd graduate to a full-size football and got this as a Christmas gift for myself. :)

DIY Lightbox

Thursday, July 02, 2009 | |

Decided to make my own lightbox inspired by this Strobist post. The flash is on a stand at the back pointing down on the draped table cloth.



And here are some sample shots using the setup:







Looking back, I should have wiped the fingerprints off the surface. :)
