Strobist World

The world of the strobist is one that I am not new to, but I am still exploring. We have all been there, an outdoor shoot but you do not feel like lagging around all your outdoor equipment, so you just bring your camera and a flash. 

The Image to the right I took at Piedmont park. For the flash I only used the attached camera camera flash on my 30D and bumped up my ISO to 1200. The lens was a 50mm Macro lens.

For the image on the left, I used my canon 30D with my attached speedlite 430EX.  I took this image around Mid-Day with the hot afternoon early summer sun. Where the model shaded under a row of trees, and the Sun was great to illuminate the background and lend to the overall feel of the image.

The location for this image is Bicentennial Park, in Atlanta, Georgia... before the world of Coke and Georgia Aquarium were built. If I was to retake the picture today the world of Coke would be behind the Olympic Tower in the background.

Summer Days...

Now that it is getting cold, it reminds me of slow summer days. I love the days that time stood still when the humidity was not 100 and you did not have to do anything but just sit and watch the clouds pass by. As we grow older we have less and less days like these. we have become so accustomed to working that we even work on vacations, life is funny...

I do not know what life holds for me, but I will do my best everyday to live, i mean truly live. I want to fall in love, I want to have my heart broken, I want to travel with someone I love. Money would be great in today's world money is important, it helps us live well and comfortable. Currently I love my life, it is not perfect not by a long shot but I love it.

Which brings us to this picture. In it is a very beautiful friend and model of mine, in this image she captures what I see in summer days the passion in her eyes, sun bouncing off her skin, I love this picture. She did a great job!
