Reesie and her bauble

You know, ever since I found The Chronicles of Prydain in the library in grade school, the use of the word "Bauble" instantly draws up the mental picture of Princess Eilonwy and her bauble.

So this is me blowing out the sun with a shutter speed of 1/2500th and an aperture of f/4.0. Because I RTFM, I discovered that the flash can't actually dump out a full powered burst in 1/2500th of a second, so I bumped the power down until it would fit the burst within the time allotted.

I ran a PC extension cord to the flash, so this is triggered by wires, not optically.

And let me tell you, it sucked trying to get this composed. But it looks absolutely CRAZY. I love it. :D

So I never would have cooked this particular shot up without David and the Strobist blog. This is my new Sunpak 622 Pro on a light stand optically triggered off the 144PC on my G7. And that's to her left (right side of picture). The light to her right (left side of picture) is the sun.

It's all there in Lighting 101.

"It was right on everyone's face. Tyler and I just made it visible. It was in the tip of everyone's tongue. Tyler and I just gave it a name."

I had started down the strobist road independently of the Strobist blog, triggered by one of my many old bosses telling me that I should think about getting slave flashes... but David made it visible. He gave it a name. And we're all better for it.

Oh, and everybody say hi to the latest fishynet model.. who crossed the picket line and went from photographer to model.... Reesie.

Reesie was very excited about her fishnet purchases. It's a seven dollar dress with ninety eight cent fishnets. The only way to have a less expensive wardrobe is to pose nude. :D

The way that these two images pair up as thumbnails is kinda funny, so I made sure to post them this way.

So I decided to screw with Adox CMS film. It's really just microfilm packaged up for photographers to shoot.... but it's still fun.

I developed it in Rodinal 1+100 for 18 minutes, with 5 inversions every 2 minutes. And I'm somewhere between ASA 12 and 25 as far as the speed achived goes.

On the other hand, I am still seeing a level of contrast one would expect out of slide film.

I was kinda nervous about shooting it while in the Anza-Borrego desert because you can't exactly go down and drive to San Diego and then drive inland 3 hours more to get to the desert because you screwed things up. But it came out just fine.
