With late fall here, interesting nature images are in a bit of a lull for me. I haven't taken my camera with me the past two times going for river walks with my dog, and not disappointed about the decision. The last one I didn't see something other than a mallard until ten minutes left. Sad really...
On the positive side I have gotten some really nice photos of my daughter while she plays. As she is a tad lower to the ground than most subjects, I am trying a new method of lighting her. I am still using my shoot through umbrella, but I am putting it on the ground angled up. I simply put the strobe on the floor, and angle the head to match the incline of the umbrella. The resulting light has been just spot on and wonderfully soft.
