Hi it's I.

Yes it is I the beautiful devil! Thought I have to show my face once in a while.

And some more snow

Lots of snow here, I have not seen this much since 1979. Well anyway this is Carols car as it gets snowed on, she traded the open drive way so I can put my Jeep under the carport. She sooo nice :)

Snow and more snow

This is what it looked like this morning, we have so much snow that it is getting hard to find places to put it.

And when I talk they listen.

Oscar on his favorite chair, I did not have enough time today to shoot a picture so I am posting this on which was shot a few day's ago.
Strobist: SB800 in remote TTL mode.

Tired

Carol came home really tired, but she was a good sport and sat for a few pictures anyway.
Strobist: I'm trying to use only one SB800 through an umbrella

Color spread

The best two books I have read in a long time! The real reason for this picture was to see how the colors would turn out. There is a bit of a color balance issue caused by the filter I used on the fill flash, otherwise the colors are very much like they are in real life.
Strobist: One SB-800 with 3/4 CTO filter, to the left of the camera. One SB-26 with 1/2 CTO filter ( didn't have another 3/4 CTO), to the right of camera

Waiting for Spring

The welcome sign in our yard. It felt good to see a little bit of sunshine today and it felt like spring is just around the corner. The reality is, we still have about two feet of snow on the ground and temperatures are in the low 30's.
Strobist: Handheld SB-800 in TTL remote mode with 1/2 CTO filter from the right.

Sleepy

Had to give our little one some equal time here :)

Icy night

Ice is everywhere around here and no sign of warming up!

My lonesome self

Enough of Carol and the cat, I figured I needed some space on this blog as well :) Inspired by todays Strobist blog entry, I had to try a picture with only one front light. Strobist: One AB B-1600 with soft box from the front and one SB 26 with a 1/2 CTB filter for the background.

Looking at you!

This is a quick snap shot of Carol I really like. No special lights just a flash from the right side of the camera. I hope you like it too!

Favorite chair

He just loves that chair, almost as much as posing for the camera.
SB800 from the camera right.

Thinking?

Practicing some more portrait shots.
Storbist: SB800 thru umbrella to camera left, SB26 with bounce card to the right.

Oh, what a frog!

Carol is talking to the frogs, they one on the right is telling her big tails about frogs in general while the other is revealing her life as a ballerina.
Strobist: SB800 in to umbrella on the left and SB26 with bounce card to the right.

The Rose

One of the roses my wife got for Valentines day.
Strobist:One Nikon SB-800 in manual remote mode, at camera right and snoothed, f5.6 and 1/128 power. A piece of paper as reflector on the right of the camera.

Snow and ice

I was attempting to photograph the reflections of the ice on the trees, but was not able to do so. The scene had a magic quality to it,and I will have to take a look at what I did wrong.

Ice Storm

I took this picture late this afternoon, after getting 12 inches of snow it turned to freezing rain.
Strobist: One SB-800 off camera, in remote TTL mode, held by left hand.

Acadia hat.

Doesn't she look happy to take another picture?
SB-800 in remote, from the left side. CTO filter.

Camera inspection......next please!

Oz is checking the camera bag for interesting items, he likes the camera bag, but he loves the camera even more.
Strobist: Off camera SB-800 in remote TTL mode.

Iron Cats

These cats are the new addition to our house, we call them Minne and Mo :)
Strobist: I set them on a piece of white paper and lit them with a strobe on each side, simple.

Snow

When I looked out the window this morning I saw the sun gently lighting this little snow caps on top of the bushes.
Used available light only.

The green shoes

I saw Carol wearing this shoes and I just had to take a picture of it, green shoes and green frogs :)
Strobist: One SB-800 into umbrella to camera left and one SB-26 to the camera right for the highlight on the shoes.

Looking out.

It has been snowing all day and the customers are not going out to buy Jewelry today, so all I can do is sit here and look out and watch my Jeep get snowed in.
I used one SB-26 in the back of the store, pointed to the sealing and a SB-800 in front, also bounced off the sealing.

My chair

This is my chair at the jewelers bench, the place I work most of the day at.

Times long gone.

A old Polaroid camera I purchased a little while ago. I'm sure it is nothing special, but I like it. So here it is, part of my collection of cameras. Do any of you still remember those cameras?

Lighting up

I'm using the only correct tool to light a cigar, a gas torch!
Strobist: One SB-800 with snooth to camera right and one SB-26 from above camera left. Both strobes where triggered with radio triggers.

Tea Time

Carol having tea!

I had one Nikon SB-800 with bounce card to the right of camera and one SB-26 with bounce card to the left of camera.

My old gun

The first gun I ever engraved.

Got Apple?

Yes I know it doesn't look like much, but you keep those two from fighting over that apple while you try to take pictures.
