Day One Hundred Forty
140/365. Girl phoned me the other day and said "Come on over, there's nobody home." I went over. Nobody was home ~ Rodney Dangerfield
So I have rented another Nikon D3, this time from Borrow Lenses. Damn are they so much cheaper! And they deliver for free :) This shot was taken up near Guererro in a nice little neighborhood of houses. I was fond of the "no wind" factor, and of course, this fence. I tricked out my radio remote by placing my iPhone in front of it.... making it look like a phone that can call the moon.
Other than that, I've been getting quite a few questions on "how do you do this every day?" — I thought about this, and the answer is simple.
If you're passionate about something enough, you will do it. Consider a cross-country runner (athlete) who trains daily. For anyone to be decently competitive, they must train at least two (or more) hours a day. Including warmup, an eight mile run, cooldown, stretching, and lifting weights.
These same principles apply to what I'm doing now, except I'm not running, I'm going out, setting up lights, taking a photo, tearing down, post-processing, documenting (via strobist info), and describing this right now.
Which brings us to the final point, you strobistas can read on...
