All things come to an end

Stage your bokeh

Here is how I did my Cup o'joe photo as well as my lit candle The link below is my video on how I did this. I forget how to embed the video right here so if someone wants to pipe in and let me know, that would be great. http://youtu.be/4KY3_fdKxrI

Cup O'Joe

Played with light tonight. My k5 was sent in for repair today so I pulled out my k7. Shot at f 1.4 with my pentax 1.4 niffty fifty, ISO 200 and 1/100 second.

My Christmas lights played the roll of the steam, and hung them from my manfrotto 550 tripod. I shot with my Pentax 540 speedlight at 1/16 power, with a rogue Grid attached. Nice to use a professional modifier as I have always had a DIY honeycomb grid.

B - E - L - I - E - V - E

I took this just before Christmas 2011. Downtown Seattle Santa, if you can't spot him, is in the background, just handed this young lady a candy cane and message. I was dying to ask her what it said. What do you think it said? A good story starter for those that like to write.

Baby Soft

Bulb revisited

I did a version of this a few years back. I thought I would revisit this and see how much I could get done in camera. I was successful in lighting the bulb in camera and not having to play in Photoshop with the lighting.

Lighting Today

I played with lights today and was amazed at the technique I used today.
