I intended to take a photo of the four in a hammock, but apparently the ropes decided otherwise.
Strobist Info: Canon 430EX camera right - triggered with PocketWizards. My goal was to balance the light on the porch with the late afternoon sun. Because my camera uses an electronic shutter, I was able to punch the shutter speed past its supposed sync speed - because of this, I was able to set my flash to a lower power and get a whole sequence of shots without bumping up against the flash's recharge. This is key when the sequence is an unexpected hammock breaking and girls almost falling off the porch and then recovering and laughing =)
As the team’s head-brass flashed out on the turn
The lovers disappeared into the wood.
I sat among the boughs of the fallen elm
That strewed an angle of the fallow, and
Watched the plough narrowing a yellow square
Of charlock. Every time the horses turned
Instead of treading me down, the ploughman leaned
Upon the handles to say or ask a word,
About the weather, next about the war.
Scraping the share he faced towards the wood,
And screwed along the furrow till the brass flashed
Once more.
The blizzard felled the elm whose crest
I sat in, by a woodpecker’s round hole,
The ploughman said. “When will they take it away?”
“When the war’s over.” So the talk began—
One minute and an interval of ten,
A minute more and the same interval.
“Have you been out?” “No.” “And don’t want
to, perhaps?”
“If I could only come back again, I should.
I could spare an arm. I shouldn’t want to lose
A leg. If I should lose my head, why, so,
I should want nothing more. . . . Have many gone
From here?” “Yes.” “Many lost?” “Yes, a good few.
Only two teams work on the farm this year.
One of my mates is dead. The second day
In France they killed him. It was back in March,
The very night of the blizzard, too. Now if
He had stayed here we should have moved the tree.”
“And I should not have sat here. Everything
Would have been different. For it would have been
Another world.” “Ay, and a better, though
If we could see all all might seem good.” Then
The lovers came out of the wood again:
The horses started and for the last time
I watched the clods crumble and topple over
After the ploughshare and the stumbling team.
Beautiful Ewa again! :)
My parents have been out for a few days so home was only mine :)
Actually, I wasn't alone even for a moment - I have very absorbing friends.
We made a little photo session with Ewa - my best friend's girlfriend. We were taking photos, eating pizza, listening to music, the boys were disturbing us (I mean, me and Ewa) a lot and we had so much fun. No pressure. This kind of working with model doesn't make me stressed and I love this.

I have great time in my life right now. I'm growing up and I can feel it so clearly. I feel movement in me. I'm doing things I'd never done before, learning more about responsibility and self-reliance, feeling some things for the very first time and feeling them so deeply. And I know it could never happen this way without Him and my best friends. I'm so grateful.
Everything is different.
I'm not saying it is better. It's just different.
And you're stunning for me. You really are.
Btw.: Not the nicest shot, just to show the physics ...
How can you make your flash brighter?
Easy: Make your camera more sensitive to flashlight without changing your ambient exposure. That means: Set your shutter speed to a value near syncspeed and compensate this regarding ambient light via your ISO setting. .

All of the above?
I don't usually do the frilly look, but this cute little ensemble caught my eye and I just had to have it! Do you think my miniskirt is too short?
Another ensemble that arrived in the recent binge buy is this shiny wet look lycra spandex top & ruffled miniskirt (with matching thong) that came from milanoo[dot]com I think the miniskirt has lots of possibilities playing mix'n match with some of my other shiny leotards! For this ensemble I've matched it up with my Hanes Alive pantyhose and my silver platform stocking boots with the 6" heels from electriqueboutique.com.

DSC_2791-4
I finally found a small flash unit that could go with my rangefinder cameras. A Metz 20C-2, good for occasional use, tilting face for bounce light. 2 auto settings with GN 20.
Flash Gordon by Bally. Needs a lot of cleaning, a good playfield waxing, a lot of lamp socket cleaning, new bulbs, spinner tweaking, and probably some flipper work, too.
A little bit of vibrance and saturation, a bump of contrast, and a crop to get rid of the reflector in the shot. I'm pretty happy with the result.
A number of images in my photo archive were taken using this cheap flash diffuser and the camera's pop-up flash. The plastic dish is from a Marie Callender "Fresh Flavor Steamer" frozen dinner. Here it's rigged up as a kind of soft-box or shoot-through flash diffuser for using with the pop up flash on the camera. Behind the dish is a Nikon D40. The arms of the support bracket are screwed to the tripod mount of the camera with a knob having a 1/4-20 thread. Reading lights are used to support clips for holding the dish. I don't need or use the lights... just the "goose-neck" material and the light's mounting clips. The primary lens is a Nikon 70-210mm zoom AF lens, with the focus locked at infinity with the green rubber band. The lens with the silver barrel peeking out of the lens shade is the "common objective" from a junk American Optical "Cycloptic" stereo microscope (NOT reversed). Focusing is done manually, simply by moving the rig forward and backward and shooting as the subject passes through the zone of maximum sharpness.

NOTE: This early version of my macro set-up has been replaced with an updated rig using a cut-down, lens-mounted diffuser, and a bracket using threaded rods to support reflector cards. The diffuser and reflector cards can be used separately, or together depending upon your lighting requirements.
This week I got my new RF-602 triggers, which I have been really really impressed with. Massive step up from the ones I had before. I also ordered some nice new umbrella brackets to hold my flashes uber securely.
A few people asked about it all so I thought I'd chuck a pic up.
