Day 172

Today is the first day of summer. I wanted to shoot something to represent that. I found a wooden fan and added a glass of ice water.

Day 59

This is a small collage a friend made for me, she belongs to a large group of women who make these and give them to other women they meet, it's meant to acknowledge other women around the world. When you receive one you are suppose to make one and give it to a new woman you meet. I gave one to a woman in Namibia, when I was there last Sept.

Day 57

I must have tried a hundred shots today with these little flowers and lady bug. I was using my macro lens again with and without the 31mm extension tube. I spent a while getting rid of all the dust bunnies only to finally put a texture on top with lots of little spots.... who knew ! This kinda feels like it could be printed on some form of metal. Can you see the little ladybug?

Day 37

I went to a meetup today in Milford CT called "Getting the most out of your umbrella" led by Bob Harrington. This photo was taken using a Westcott 28" Apollo Softbox , positioned high above and camera right.The hair light was another flash with a snoot positioned above, behind the model and camera left.
