Strobist setup for this photo is http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3393/3485933644_28c57301d6_o.jpg
I like this shot I believe. skin tone is good, shadows are minimal, details in the hair are visible.
Next: try this same shot on a black background (Botero), try it with a BG light too.

tulips in the mist
I've photographed these tulips from several angles over the last couple of days but the misting rain we had yesterday produced this interesting view. (At least I was interested in it!!)
Blog news
The Normal Community High School Marching Ironmen band's blog now has a new address!!! We have renamed it to http://www.nchsmarchingironmen.com which will hopefully make it easier to remember!!
(For those that had the old name, http://nchsmb.blogspot.com, bookmarked it will continue to work as well.)
All the indoor band blogs will retain the same address' for the time being.
Let us know what you think of the new address.

Bridges
I created this collage as a present for someone but thought I'd share it with everyone else. This series of photos was taken in a local park over a couple of months and represents the images I liked best from each.
"Normal" sunrise in b/w
I wanted to see what this photo looked like in black and white. I really liked it so I save it to share with you. It's not easy shooting landscapes with a 135mm lens!! (Which is why I was doing it!)

For Prime Lens month this was shot with 50mm f/1.4 lens.
Main light camera left a Canon 580EX II with a HDD Ultimate Light Box and the fill was a daylight balanced bulb in a 14" reflector.

April is Prime Lens Month!!!
As near as I can tell there is no month declared as prime lens month, so I am naming April Prime Lens month.
(In case you need one here is the definition: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_lens ).
So I will only post some photos taken with my favorite prime lenses!!
