Closeup shot of a woodlouse. Always think these look menacing. Only just noticed it's staring at a baby springtail :)
Closeup view of the General James Birdseye McPherson statue on the grounds of the McPherson County Courthouse. He is the highest ranking Union officer to die on the battlefield during the Civil War. The city and county of McPherson bear his name. It was dedicated on July 4, 1917 in front of about 40,000 people. A similar statue is located in Washington D.C. within sight of the White House.
Back lit lime slice. SB-28 snooted at 1/64 power with a light green gel behind. Hand held SB-24 at 1/32 to camera right for some light fill flash. Juicy!
I went for a semi-clamshell glamour lighting for this shot hence the much more vibrant effect. I used 1 softbox overhead and a silver reflector below the model. added quite a bit of PP than I would normally do and voila! instant covergirl!
Strobist Info: softbox center above model. silver reflector below, cellphone LCD, gas stove, and hot smoking doobie! yahoo!

New cleat time again. I last changed them in September, which prompted me to wonder how many miles I'd put on my bikes since that time (see next photo)
