April Photo of the day. I am starting my second month on the photo of the day challange! I should actually hit 30 days here in the 2nd week. I will do my best to get a new shot every day and this month will be a challange as I will be on travel 6-11. I plan on brining my laptop with me if I can get net access I can upload some photo's each evening after class. I am going to bring my Canon Powershot Pro1 with me so wish me luck. I am enjoying this challange as this is really streching my abilties.
April 29: Working with light.
I did this shot tonight after deciding to try a shot I say in a Nikon picture. Not the same but I like the results. I set this up using a trunk for a table and folded my tripod low. My wife told my daughter I was laying on the floor taking pictures :). I turned off all the lights sans the desktop here and setup the SB200 flashes off the R1 to see what I could do. I set one to bounce behind the trunk on group A, with a blue gel on the lens and hand held another on group B with a red gel. I varied the -ev settings till I got this shot that I was happy with. I was using the Capture control Pro again, tethered to my desktop so I could see my results full screen. That works to those that have never tried it.
EXIF:
D200, tripod mounted, electronic trigger
18-200 VR lens @44mm
1/60 sec @ f/8.0
Commander: main off, A -1.7, b -0.7
