Anna - she had two minutes for me, because she had to catch the next tram. So I went for it - "if I can do it in two minutes, would it then be ok?" I managed to catch half of her :-))
Thank you for modeling for me. Send me a mail if you want your picture.

Light: AL - She was waiting for the tram in the shade, where I wanted to take my stranger portrait. Light is just hitting her face from the side of the roof.

Carotts for my eyes? They are still not back to normal - see 30.5.11

So I read this aspargus approach over at strobist and thought, this will just be enough for tonight after my first day back to work. So no creativity here (just same - same) but learning some more details to the approach I used in 22.5.11.

Light: 2 SB26 and a SB24 lying on the ground from, 1/16 power (because the SB24 just has no weaker shot), 24mm, optical triggeres by my 580 EX full power loosing its strenght in the orbis around my lens, regulating the fill with the square law (leaving the 580Ex as it is but coming closer with it by zooming more to the wideangle side on the lens to brighten things up and leaving the other as they are).
Setup shot here.

This is what I see when I am editing my photos - and out there is what I miss.

I am preparing myself for our Southafrifrica trip. And this is a preparation shot - NOT!
This is Europapark, something like Disneyland in Germany, an amusing park where you walk and wait alot. And can find some cliche, if you want. Therefor this shot - like a tourist picture (Head in the middle etc) - and because my creativity was dimmed by the consumetemple.

Ascension Day... - I saw this dramatic sky this afternoon. We were strolling with friends and a had my 5D with me (as often lately) and wanted to take a picture of my friend, cut of by the field. So I pulled it out, setup and - No CF card! I felt like a bloody beginner - the card was waiting for me at home in my cardreader and I had packed up in a hurry. So before dinner I bought 15min before foode was ready, raced up to the place with my bicycle, which was further away as a thaught it was, and further up too, slamed on a polarizer filter and held a graduated filter infront of it and made very few pictures, before beeing 3minutes late for dinner. I felt good about my action, because I felt like a artist racing out and sweating for a image, I had in my head. Voilà.

Simon needed a picture of him for the goodby gift to his teacher. He wanted to be infront of his books. Not a bad idea - thinking contextualy. I ask him to tell me something, to stop him from grimassing - it worked, but that made his mouth moving quicker than the 1/60th of the shutter...

Light: AL + 1/4 flash of 430EX power (manual mode) backwards on he wall / ceiling, held by his brother Lias and conected to the camera with a ETTL cable
