I've always loved this tree. It is right near the parking lot at Stafford Lake in Novato, CA which is the best place around for a full 18 holes of Frisbee Golf. So usually when I pass this tree I have a frisbee, but no camera. Yesterday I was having a late afternoon nap and I suddenly awoke thinking about this tree, so I looked outside and saw that I had maybe an hour of daylight left, so I grabbed my gear and headed down to Novato. I got there at about 6pm, the park closes at 7. The sun had already set behind the hills surrounding this valley, so I knew I was going to need my strobes. I put one strobe on a gorillapod, affixed a diffuser and placed it under the canopy of the tree, off camera to the left. This was used to light the branches extending off of the main trunk and the side of the main trunk. Then I placed a second strobe on a light stand facing the tree about 20 feet back. THis strobe lit up the ground, the leaves in the front of the tree and a bit of fill on the main trunk. The third strobe, my Canon 430ex was placed on the ground and propped up with a log. The light from this strobe is what you see on the ground on the right.
The three strobes were fired using Cactus V2 triggers. As is often the case with the cactus triggers in outdoor situations, and particularly when trying to use a Canon flash, I had a lot of misfires and shots where two of three or one of three strobes fired. I took about 50 shots in all to get this one, but I was moving the strobes around a lot.
I took the final shot with my 10-22mm lens, laying on the ground in front of the tree.
In PS, the only thing I really had to do was add in the eye and a little bit of the nose, and darken the crack that is the mouth. The basic shape of the nose and mouth were provided by nature. I posted a little tutorial on texture wrapping a while back. This images uses essentially the same technique.
I also used an adjustment layer to soften the flare of the flash on the grass, and cropped and rotated the image to straighten the horizon.
I also did a version where the mouth was showing teeth, and the eye had an eyebrow, but it seemed like too much, so I reverted back to something a little more subtle.
Not that this strobist business is easy.
But strobe self-portraits are really tough to manage.
(Strobist info: Single Pentax AF540FGZ with snoot made from Jever beer sixpack cardboard, shooting from the right side at 1/64, angle slightly upwards from below face, shot through white cloth - for lack of umbrella -, triggered by on-camera flash in control mode.
Oh gawd do I feel geeky when I use all that gobbledegook!
But I have found out a funny way to work without a light stand: Just set up my tripod, mount my old Super A on it, and use its flash shoe to hold the strobe - works perfectly!)
Wear your pride on your sleeve, you never know who may be watching.
Over the last few months I've been overwhelmed with emotion over hate crimes against the queer community. In Portland, a beloved hair stylist and active member of many communities was stabbed and killed in a gay hate crime, he was followed from his work just 3 blocks from my home. In Russia hundreds of oppressed individuals who are "suspected" to be gay are being murdered by family members or thrown in concentration camps to be tortured and killed, supported by the government that's supposed to protect them. These are just a few current attacks on our community. Nothing can undo these atrocities.
I believe those spirits deserve to live on through those of us who experience some levels of freedom. The only response I know is to be more proud of who I am, more vocal to those around me, and to create more beauty to combat the hatred. Only through personally bridging the gap between misunderstanding and acceptance can we hope to change minds of those who are blinded by hateful rhetoric that has been passed on through generations.
In loving memory of Jakob Jay and the victims in Russia.

I was a week behind uploading and posting and I'm finally all caught up. We went to a movie and dinner tonight. Saw Lady Bird, but really wasn't crazy about it. Then to one of my favorite vegan restaurants in Chicago.
29 days left, I think I can do it!

21 Day Flickr Birthday Photo Challenge - Day 9 Exploration
The Sojourner Mars rover was launched on December 4, 1996 and reached Mars on July 4, 1997. The rover was created by the NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory at the California Institute of Technology as part of the Pathfinder Mission. The rover was named after Sojourner Truth, the Civil War era antiabortionist and women's rights activist as a result of national competition for school children by the National Science Teachers Association.
Sojouner was active from the time of landing for 92 Martian days (sols) and the last signal ws received on October 7, 1997 and had traveled approximately 100 meters from the Pathfinder base station at the time the mission ended.

We've had a lot of rain, so this location I had earmarked for this shoot was on its way to a bog like state, but what a great day for a shoot with good strong light to play against. So much good light, that even under this canopy, a 500th was needed to bring the background under control. Despite the light, October is pushing it for outdoor shoots and both Joanna and I started to feel that cooling air. Yikes, here comes Winter!

I really like the portability of strobe lights. I'm talking about the speedlite units, stands and umbrellas, not the large studio strobes with modeling lights. Fortunately with digital the question of whether or not the strobes fired is immediately reviewable.
A flash/ambient meter is almost a necessity I've found in outdoor locations. On the other hand, tho heavier and usually needed a power outlet, are the flat panel displays. A bit bulkier but still fairly portable.
John and I were doing a photo shoot in one of the U's studios and using a soft box . . . hence the warm light on John's neck and 2 strobes, with umbrellas. I find it very relaxing to do shoots with good shooting friends.
Two of the members of the "A-Team", Nita Jane, and Barry come onboard when the shoot is more complex and more assistants or creative input is needed.
This was pretty straighforward, and I took the opportunity to do some "wing shooting" of the preparations.
A foggy day in the mountains, visibility near zero, looking for something to shoot. Found this water lily, lit with a 200 ws strobe, warming and diffusion filters.
This vintage airplane has strobe lights in the windows and on the outside so it can put on a light show at night.

used 3 strobes left right and from bottom. triggered with PWs
do not use without my permission.
This particular night was so active, incredibly this is just a 30s shot. The bolts were coming down everywhere. The winds just in front of this system were very strong, at one stage I had to hop into my car, and hope to god my camera rig was sheltered enough not to get knocked over.
Now it's winter, I'm just waiting for next spring-summer so I can get back out into the wheatbelt and beyond.
