Both photos lit the same way, with a Canon 430EX and a Lightsphere II dome on 12 power, fired remotely (camera on manual mode for all settings).

Both photos taken with the bugs sitting on...http://www.knick-knack.com/index.html/post/15061 Tip: Canon Lens Aging - How Old Is This Lens- July 7, 2008 Tip: Canon Lens Aging - How Old Is This Lenshttp://www.knick-knack.com/index.html/post/15063 One Day, Two Shoots- July 6, 2008 Yesterday I had a couple photographers over and converted the garage into a studio (I've been doing basement studio shoots due to the weather but it's nice enough to be outside and with multiple photographers I wanted more room to move around).

What do I mean by the "cloud" I'm talking about that cushy comfort zone and business model we have all become accustomed to: the idea of a staff job with benefits and company gear, the idea that if we follow the traditional career paths of our predecessors we too will find long term financial security, the idea that if we do things the same way that we've...http://www.knick-knack.com/index.html/post/15052 Do Yahoo Executives Really "Get" the Whole Idea of Flickr and Web 2.0- July 6, 2008 Do Yahoo Executives Really "Get" the Whole Idea of Flickr and Web 2.0 I don't care if they "get Web 2.0" since it's a BS made-up term, but they should at least "get" Flickr.http://www.knick-knack.com/index.html/post/15054 The consoldating outdoor industry- July 6, 2008 The consoldating outdoor industry.
