looks a little light on the grilled onions and fries, a frosty mug is not in view. Pickle an a +, patty size good, nice grill marks. I will have to put a patty melt on my list of things to do tomorrow. :)

Day 342.2

Not bad for restaurant food. After Chris had her nails done we had lunch for under $20 with tip. I would have posted a picture of the Broccoli Cheese soup I had but the waitress slopped it all over the cup.

I'll have to remember to go to the other restaurant in town. That Patty Melt is a double burger, on dark rye.

The patty melts we get are usually on marble rye. Really yummy!

Keep us posted on your results. I just picked up some lighting also, but went with continuous. Amazon has some decent 6x9 backdrops for under $25, just recieved a gray one yesterday (kinda tie dye looking).

Might have to look into that, really hurting for some kind of backdrop. Got some black room darkening drapes I've played around with in the past but they show the creases and I don't like that.

Got to nail down the power setting first and have the motivation to work on it when I get home from work. Right now I'm in my busy season for another two to three weeks.

Well here's the latest on my studio lighting set-up. Last week I bought triggers for my speedlights. They came in a kit of (4) I have three speed lights. After we were playing around with them we decided to buy another Amazon.com: Neewer TT560 Flash Speedlite For Canon/Nikon Digital SLR Cameras: Electronics. This way we will have three of all of the same and not worry about mixing Nikon and third party speedlights together and keep everything set up downstairs and not have to worry about breaking a trigger disconnecting my SB700 if I want to take it out of the house. The triggers work and are nice but I find them very fragile when it comes to the mounting points and can see they are not going to hold up to repeated use coming on and off the flash stands.

After reading Rick's post about backdrops we looked around and ordered this tonight Amazon.com: CowboyStudio Hand Painted 10 X 12 ft Muslin Photo Backdrop Background - W001: Camera & Photo We went with the larger size so we could shoot more of a full body shot. My basement has a low ceiling and with the help of some PC pipe and some rope the backdrop will be easy to hang. Next step would be to pick up some light stands (kits) umbrellas and or some speedlight softboxes, then make / buy a backdrop stand so the set up could go out of the house.
