Pentax Film SLR’s
I decided today to dig out my old Pentax K1000 for an upcoming photo stroll and thought it a good opportunity to take some pix of all my old film SLR’s. My Dad gave me this camera, which was his backup camera, many years ago. So long ago that I don’t actually recall when. I [...]

Sophia the Dancer
This was a fun exercise (for me at least) in getting the lighting to do what I wanted. I had this particular pose in mind but was having trouble with the light spilling all over the background which I did not want. Sophia was very patient with me as I spent about 10 minutes fooling [...]

Lumiquest Flash Modifiers
I picked up the Lumiquest ProMax System flash diffuser to use at DragonCon 2009 and it served me well that year. It provides a good solution for using a on camera flash in portrait orientation when you don’t have a flash bracket handy. However one draw back to this use is it can still throw [...]
