Day Thirty Eight Setup Shot
Super Football what? Since we don't have a live TV signal and get all our programing via iTunes, what better way to spend a Sunday evening by inflating the aerobed, stringing up some Christmas lights and tossing paper flowers in the air.
The Girl stood right off camera right next to the tripod and on 3 she threw the flowers up and I pressed the shutter. While it was totally random how the flowers would end up in the frame the hard part was having at least one flower get in the focal plane. At close distance we were aiming for ƒ/1.2 isn't all that wide. Took about 20 tries till we were happy with what we got. Would have been less but in a few of them Mouse Girl (off camera right eating a slice of pizza) decided her forehead should be in the shot.
