Shot of Devin with hypersync on Pocketwizard Mini.

Details: Canon 40D with 17-55IS. f/2.8 at 1/1000, iso 100.

Another cat picture of The Justice from two weekends back.  I especially liked the feathered lighting effect which only exposed the front half of the cat.

Details: Canon 40D with 70-300IS @ 300mm.  f/6.3 at 1/250, iso 400.  One AB800 with softbox pointed slighty to the right.

Hepcatjk doing his thing at the abandoned pier the Philly Strobists practiced at yesterday.  Overwhelming location to the eyes but everyone had a blast trying some new setups.

Details: Canon 40D with on 70-300 IS zoom at 1/200 @ f5.6. Several flashes on right wall at 1/8 power for background lighting, a Vivitar on the left for fill at 1/16 power and a 580ex on the left snooted at 1/2 power for the mainlight.

Some more test shots with softbox of my friend Turk who DJs and mixes music. Hit him up on facebook or 215-801-5799 for more information.

The new softbox

A quick self portrait from yesterday’s softbox setup.  This modifer is great for controlling the light; its really easy for me to make more dramatic shots.

My sister Alex is here visiting in Jersey for Christmas so it seemed like a great opportunity to take some pictures of her being that I only see her once a year. I had a really keen blue light hitting her from above mimicking the blue laptop screen but Alex preferred the look of the simple shots. This one’s my favorite since it seemed to contain both her serenity and intensiveness of keeping several irc chats at once. Apparently I’m also helping out big sis by buying her a new laptop; enabling more KDE development and code testing.

The studio’s update is done! My paper cyc wall is done and is a vast difference to my muslim sheets. It’s just great since customers have more background options and I find the plain white paper easier to work with as well.

Totally off topic but I’m fed up with Winamp. Isn’t the point of multiple interfaces being open supposed to make changing and creating playlists easy by drag and drop between the Winamp windows?

Details:
Canon 40D with 17-55IS at 51mm 1/250 @ f5.0 iso 200. One AB800 at 1/4 with Umbrella up left high and feathering her face, one AB800 at 1/4 pointing down for fill, plus a DF400 at 1/1 and snooted up 10 feet aimed straight at her from the foot of the sofa for effect/more fill.
