365pix

This is the inaugural post with my new camera body. I am very pleased with it!

This, it turns out, is incredibly difficult to do by yourself. Imagine me standing over a cordial glass full of milk with a measuring cup in one hand trying to dribble out tiny bits of milk while simultaneously operating the shutter with the other. I’m only somewhat happy with this shot… I’ll try it again another day.

Taken at the NCBG today. This little guy had an iridescent blue tail that he hid most of the time I was shooting him.

This is the sort of shot I really enjoy making. I picked up a copy of ‘Mastering Canon EOS Flash Photography’ the other day after attending the FlashBus Tour stop here in Durham (those guys are all Nikon, all the time, so I wanted some Canon info). The shot on the cover of that book got me thinking… hey I know enough to do my own version of that! Well, NK Guy’s photo is “better”, but I’m still extremely pleased with mine!

Pretty much SOOC, with some minor contrast tweaks.

I tried a few other shots tonight, but they had problems. This was my backup.
