Here is a little plant I found today. I think it could be poison oak. I am working on a macro this week for the print competition.

I have wanted to start working the strobes outside. So this evening I took the bare strobe on a light stand and shot some of the plants on our deck. It’s not quite what I am looking for (not by a long shot) but it is the start of some experimenting to find the cool light that I want. (and not bad for a Monday either)

A little playing around in Camera Raw on this one. Taken with the wonderful 50mm. I was playing around with of the Adobe Camera Raw tools that I normally don’t touch.

Here is one from Thursday at Fort Point under the Golden Gate Bridge. We were in San Francisco for Photoshop’s 20th Anniversary Party. It was cool to see the Photoshop Guys, Joe McNally and other recognizable industry figures.

Roses for Valentine’s Day.
The lighting here was my Canon 430EX II high camera right fired with the RadioPopper JrX @ 1/4 power shot through an umbrella and the Vivitar 285HV @ 1/4″ low camera left fired with the Sonia optical slave using my Honl snoot opened up as a reflector.
Post-processing with Topaz Adjust.

I’ve definitely been struggling for a while to get back to a regular schedule of shooting. It all seems to have started with getting sick and the changes at work and just a general feeling of the blahs. Sometimes we can find inspiration right in our backyards and that is what happened here. This is such a cool plant bloom and hopefully I am on my way again.

It’s that time of year again. Flowers are blooming in the gardens of gardeners and those that are in to that kind of activity. Me, I just like to document some of it. Not really the gardener type but do appreciate the beauty. My dad always has some great stuff blooming and this year is no exception. Here’s to you dad!
