Only this one is a little more involved than the macro studio light box thing. That has been working wonders! I’m so happy with it and the light I get out of it. It’s every bit as nice as natural light but it has the added benefit of being stronger so I...

Wow! Thirty minutes of effort (and most of that spent trying to find the tape and tissue paper) and absolutely no cost and look at the light it created! Oh, this is so exciting. Do you see the detail in that dogwood blossom? I’ve never been able to stop down the...

Well hello there Mr. & Mrs. Purple Finch! I am so excited that we are finally starting to get some visitors to our new bird feeder. Of course they couldn’t have come during March so I could have contributed more to Jill’s adorable Tweeter Board but...

I first picked up my SB600 when I wanted to take a portrait type shot of my then 3-month old. The camera store guy recommended that I get the Fong Lightsphere to go with it to diffuse the light and create a softer picture. I recognized it as the same thing the lady...

Oh boy! THIS is going to be a challenging month. Joe McNally helped me figure out how to get my flash off the camera and as I work my way back through his book again, I’m picking up more details but, oh my, this light stuff just isn’t always so intuitive....

Is there anything more fun?? I’m knee deep in them right now – playing around and deciding which ones I like best. For my android cell I’ve tried: fxCamera: okay retroCamera: GREAT! FREE! camera zoom fx: can’t get the gallery to open within the...

“It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade.” Charles Dickens Oh March! You never fail to disappoint! Sure you start off with some warm days and brighter sun but...

I’m linking up with Kim Klassen’s first Texture Tuesday blog party because it’s such an awesome idea!! Her textures are just beautiful and always so versatile and adaptable! I used her “Warm Sun” texture on Pixie. It may look like spring...
