Daily Grind

Saw an article about macro photography and using your camera flash. It was saying how you could really make the image pop with an off-camera flash, tripod, cable release, etc. I have all the gear except the off-camera flash part, but I had a secret weapon!

My light box.


I used black poster board on the top and left side, and angled the flash to bounce off the back upper right corner. (I actually tried a whole bunch of different angles, but I liked this the best.)

Smells better LARGE

I suspect I'm still getting some blur from the mirror. That's something I haven't figured out how to accomplish with my Nikon. You're supposed to be able to lock the mirror up before the shutter opens, reducing camera shake. I just don't have the energy to put the gear back up and dig out the manual. I'm happy with this one today.

I can almost smell it...


PS Thanks to BIkerBear for teaching me how to embed code to make it LARGE. Way to go on your hummer today!
