Picking up my son from pottery class tonight I took the time to walk around the studio with my 50mm lens on. I didn’t bring my strobe in with me so working with the available light, and not repositioning anything, created a few challenges with the shadows. This scale, however, seemed to be good position [...]

Returning to the workshop for some photos. I thought the drill bit collection might be a bit interesting. Lit with a speedlite bounced on the wooden ceiling.

One of the great things about photographs is their ability to help us recall memories. Google recently added a face recognition feature to their Picasa photo software, and I have to admit it’s been a joy using it to go through old photos and tagging my friends. There are other programs out there that do [...]
