Penalty Box Photography's photostream  

Having a baby provides me with some rather interesting photographic subject matter. Of course I love photographing my daughter, but the trappings of childhood can also be fun. Last week I noticed a random confluence of these
two toys and thought it would make for an interesting photograph. So later at night, after everyone has drifted off to sleep and I've finished my homework, I drag out the equipment and play around.

My wife knows the key to my heart, obviously. She had gotten me these Dogfish Head beers as one of my presents. I'm looking forward to enjoying them soon.

Flash info: backlit by my trusty SB-600 remotely triggered and front lit by my built in flash. I think I'm going to get another flash for my birthday to play around some more with lighting.

I had brought my camera out to photograph some migrating birds that were in the yard, but they had absconded by the time I got the camera. All that was left was this lonely dove.

Didn't get to go out and shoot today, so here's a shot from my spring trip to Buffalo. The Albright-Knox Art Gallery is one of the gems of Buffalo, having a collection of art that is rarely found in a city this size. If you're ever in the area, it's a must see attraction. While you're there, take a walk through the adjacent beautiful Delaware Park, unless it's wintertime, of course!

I managed to sneak into the backyard for a little bit this afternoon to photograph the birds enjoying my hospitality. Here's a nuthatch helping himself to a seed while a chickadee looks on in the background
