Day 5
This is not a picture about a mug. Nor is this a picture about beer. This isn't even a picture that is about focus (albeit there isn't much in focus.) This is a picture about light. This is a picture about my way of modifying light. As I continue learning about the craft, I realize more and more that what lens you have on your camera doesn't matter as much as the light.
I shot this photograph with my SB-600 in infrared slave mode. Popped up my on camera flash and fired away. The flash was held up by a wonderfully drunk talking light stand. It's not much--but it's a start for me. A start to better understand how I can use light to enhance my images.
Exposure Information
1/60 sec, f/1.8 (mistake), ISO 100, 35mm. SB-600 bounced off the table back at the camera. Triggered by built inlens FLASH.
Ending remark:
I apologize that this isn't as interesting as a photograph. Truth is today was difficult to get my shots in. Work went directly into cover letter writing, which lead to dinner, then resume writing. I had about 30 minutes between when I finished that and starting Trivia. Alas, not much time for creativity. On the bright side, my weekend looks open.
