Ultimately, simplicity is the goal - in every art, and achieving simplicity is one of the hardest things to do. Yet it's easily the most essential. - Pete Turner, More Joy of Photography by Eastman Kodak

This is my first Strobist test and post.
I was trying to learn how to use a grey card for precise white balance and for exposure meter with flash. The result of the test is OK, but it can be better, the background for example was pure white, but in the picture it's grey.
Strobist Info:

- 430 EX II on a shoot-through umbrella with omni difusser at subject back-left and above 1/8 power;

To play like a child. Why is it the older that we get the more cynical we become. What once was so much fun, we now look down upon with contempt and indifference. All because it is too simple. We have this unquenchable thirst for complexity. I had my camera out while a groups of kids were running around having the time of their lives with bubble. Their squeals and shouts of joy were unmistakable from quite a ways off, and I couldn't resist the opportunity to grab some fun shots. It just reminded me how much we have conditioned ourselves to need complexity, newness, something big and better. In our quest to experience any and everything we have inadvertently sucked all the joys of our life that are not newer or more intricate.
Sometimes I wonder if our greatest blessings of wealth and sophisticated technology really are also curses un disguise. an interesting thought to ponder, maybe even a bit hypocritical as I ponder while I shoot with my newest piece of technology to take pictures with... hmmmm.

Russ Miles and David Dawson came to Skills Matter and gave a one day workshop on how to inject simplicity in software. Working in teams, delegates created their code to navigate a real world AR drone (without crashing it!), learning how to break down a problem and tradeoff for the right values in Architecture, Design and Code. How to create the right number of tests to build the right level of confidence and how to enable Real Application Agility through Simplicity.

I made this Simplicity 2892 last year during Top Week, too! The fabric is a cotton lawn purchased last summer from fabric.com. The only variation I added was four rows of shirring to the hem to add some shape.
