With this shot I didn't want to use flash because I would have blown out the soft light and I think it would have been far too harsh. Instead, I pushed the iso and shot with the aperture wide open.
While you can see some noise I was able to get a nice handheld shot.
This works, unless your model moves, then- see pic 2
Please leave thoughts or feedback.
Thank you,

(bad scanner!) my first shot with the new film and my sx-70; it was obviously a learning experience. i wrote about this new film here.
A young robin at Kiltonga nature reserve.
It's a good job I didn't have the long lens on - he was too close for it to focus. This was taken with the 90mm Macro.
While I was able to get the first shot wide open; with this shot I think I really could have used the extra light of a speedlight flash. With this candid shot; Hector was more at ease and moved. Had I used flash, I could have close the aperture a third or two or increased shutter speed.
Now looking a bit closer, I could have done either of those (adjust shutter or aperture) or both and still got decent background lights without the flash. The only expense that would have occured is a bit more noise in the dark areas due to lower exposure then compensating by bumping the exposure in L.R.
Please leave thoughts or feedback.
Thank you,

Poor dollies Eden Pepito and Madeline were attacked by a dog and had hands and feet chewed off. They were a mess so they got cleaned up.
Second picture is them doing planks on the stainless steel gas grill to dry off (30 minutes due to sun/heat). Pepito needed to have his head in a sock to tame the wild hair.
Third picture is them all cleaned up.
I am looking for other bodies for them. I might try some SSC or SSC clone bodies.
Got to work on getting that cape off Pepito, Very tight knot so I have to work at it with a pinpoint.
...and it's about time!
These new little characters and sets from Learning Curve 'Play Town' are so much like the old school "little people ", I did a double take when I walked by them at Target.
These 'little people' are a bit bigger than their vintage counterparts. I really like the simplicity of these little guys in contrast to the "new" FP 'little people'. They have wooden heads and parts of the sets are wood, too. There are some 'licensed' characters as well...the little X-men Wolverine guy is adorable.
today has been on of those days where i just can't seem to "get it" with Illustrator... trying to wrap my head around strokes and paths and the pen tool, and also layers. It's def not like PS. I have to make a lot of mistakes in order to make the smallest amount of progress...
practice practice practice...
Westcoast stinging nettles at the Tennesse Aquarium. Also a test of 'How to shoot with a Lensbaby in very low light when you don't know WTF you're doing.'
Again fiddling with AP and Christmas pressie wrapping at the same time....what can i say, we multi-task ;-)
10/4/07 – Countdown of my top 3 superpower choices. A short what if series.
The ability to produce fire obviously has many practical uses. Can see in the dark if the electricity goes out, stay warm in the event of being lost in the Alaskan wilderness, don’t have to spend a half hour hunting down matches to light a candle, to name a few. Also, as a smoker, this superpower definitely comes in handy.
