bouncing flash

I rarely write anything other than titles and numbers on here. I'd rather leave the rambling at my other blog. However, this is a blog where I am experimenting with different things in photography as well so it would be beneficial to me to keep track of what I'm testing out at the moment. Now, I don't normally utilize flash. I have to use it for a lot of events due to low-lighting, but I strive to use whatever natural light is available. Recently, Nick Gerber reviewed some equipment. I was surprised at how natural he made the flash look! Nick is always kind enough to respond to any questions I or others pose. As someone still learning, I greatly appreciate it. Today, I experimented with bouncing flash off of the walls of my room so that it the light would look as natural as possible and not so harshly lit. These are my results.

lens play

I rented a lens from borrowlenses.com. It was an AF-S NIKKOR 85mm 1.8G and it was delivered today. If you read my other blog, you will already know about this week's event that I'm working, hence why I have the lens. I'm getting very comfortable with it. I may have to buckle down and save up to own it. It's so pretty! Here are some images taken with the lens. I'm loving the black and white lately, too. I'm also getting a little bit ahead of my 365. Is that good or bad?

two hundred five.

Untitled

I haven't posted here in just a little bit over a week. First week of August down and this is the first time I've brought the old gal out. I've been busy planning a shoot and shooting an event. Photos will of course get posted here, possibly as soon as tomorrow night. Magic hour shoot tomorrow with a model friend. I. Can't. Wait.
