Day 27: Bicycles

I know what you are thinking, didn't he already have a photograph of bikes? The answer is yes, but when I went by the bicycle shop today the bikes were arranged in a better position.

Day 26: Grate

Another example of things you can find when you take a little extra time to just stop and look around you. So the next time you're out taking photos make sure to look in every direction.

Day 23: Moon

I read that the Sunny 16 rule also works when photographing a full moon. The Sunny 16 Rule says that when shooting in full sun if the aperture is set to F16 and the shutter speed to the same number as your ISO, the picture will be exposed correctly. This moon shot is straight out of camera with the shutter speed at 100, F/16 and ISO 100.

Day 22: Snow White in Ruby Slippers

We went over to our friends house for Halloween. Their little girl was dressed as Snow White. I just loved the ruby slippers she had on. I don't think I ever knew what type of shoes Snow White wore; I think ruby slippers work well.

Day 21: Jamie as Rosie

It's awesome that my lovely wife likes to recreate old posters. We did Audrey Hepburn back in January and now Rosie the Riveter. I jump at the chance to play with small flashes while shooting.

Techie Stuff: a SB-800 high to camera left set on TTL, a SB-600 lighting the background set to 1/64 power with a yellow gel, and a LumoPro LP120 set to 1/32 power as a back light for a little separation .

Manual: page 31 "Image Size" If you shoot RAW the image size adjustment has no affect.
