I Shot My Cat
No, not with a gun. I must’ve shot over 500 failed frames trying to take decent photo of my cat, Sweet Pea (yea, Sweet Pea….wanna make something of it?). Why is this so hard? Well, she’s a black cat for one. Black does not reflect light very well, as all you photographers know all too well. Plus, try to get a cat to sit still long enough to compose a decent shot. Go ahead…..I’ll wait. Yea, see? Well, I FINALLY DID IT!!!!!
Don’t Laugh at Point & Shoots!
I’ve been really concentrating on getting better at lighting my subjects. As a matter of fact, that subject has been consuming me. So on a recent Saturday I took a break and went to see a good friend and his daughter perform at a “caberet” style event…..he on piano a and his daughter singing. I thought of taking my Canon 5D full-frame camera, a speedlight, a shoot-through umbrella, and a light stand. This is a pretty light and easy-to-use setup, so it seemed like a no-brainer. But wait! I hadn’t seen my friend and his family for a long time, and I started thinking, “Do I REALLY want to turn this into a shooting session?”
