I recently decided to really work at becoming more creative. However, the gap between thought, action and results can often be rather wide. Tonight as I was coming home from work I encountered a broken sprinkler head spewing prodigious amounts of water. I have always considered water and flash an interesting combination. So I grabbed a small umbrella and threw this self portrait together. Notice the police car behind me in the shot. Only moments later I was confronted with a slightly aggressive but curious Pinellas County sheriff wanting to know what I was up to. I explained the situation and everything was hunky dory, but with no small amount of consternation on my part. All of this took place in a bank parking lot. Shot with a single Nikon SB-600 flash mounted on a stand, camera left. Bare bulb. Flash triggered using Commander mode on a Nikon D90 camera with -2/3 flash exposure compensation. Shutter priority mode, ISO 800, f/1.8, 1/80 sec shutter speed. The shot probably could have been improved with another flash behind me maybe giving a little rim light. But if I had done that then the cop probably would have arrested me or something. I got pretty wet despite the umbrella but I guess it was worth it.

Thanks!

This time the loop lit little dude gets the soft treatment with an off camera Nikon SB-600 flash, camera left, shot thru an umbrella using C, or Commander mode Nikon CLS. Fuggetaboutit and shoot Nikon, not Canon, and you will forever be a happy camper in all of your strobe endeavors. Flash once again gelled with a .25 Rosco CTO. Shutter speeed 1/30 sec, iris diaphragm f/2.4, ISO 800. Nikon D90 camera set to Manual mode. Sweet bokeh and shallow DOF thanks to a common but always superior Nikkor lens.

Night HDR taken in downtown Tampa, Florida. Three exposures combined into one using the fantastic program Photomatix. If you would like to see more from this HDR series please visit my web site. It is listed under "Tampa Nocturne":

No, the front tire is not flat. J. just finished doing some trick or other and came down hard on it. Shot taken with a single off camera SB-600 gelled with a .25 Rosco CTO. Flash triggered using C, or Commander, mode on a Nikon D90 with a Nikkor 35mm f/1.8 lens. Camera set to manual exposure f/2.0, 1/180 sec, and SB-600 at around 1/8 power. Flash was just laid on the ground camera right. Merry Christmas!
