Thought I'd throw this shot in here, taken by one of the participants at an RC helicopter flying field. I was taking a break when he rushed over and wanted to take a shot of the field photographer.....me. :) I'm dressed in my best vagabond/hobo-wear! ;)

This weeks challenge is going to be all about liquid and light. How you set it up and show your interpretation of this is entirely up to you, but the two elements must be in the same picture. Use your imagination and see what you come up with. :) Good luck everyone! How the Challenge Works Each...

Just a couple of bird shots I had the opportunity to take this morning.

OK, here's the situation. Today I picked up a used D40 body, including genuine Nikon battery and the charger. The lady I got it from said it wasn't working and just decided to get rid of it. She had bought a new D5100 for herself instead. OK...on to the problem I'm having. I charged the battery...

As the weather is still crappy here....still lots of snow on the ground and temperatures in the mid 30's F, I decided to set up my soft box, portrait light and backdrop, with a stuffed animal model to see what it all would look like, and take a few shots. I set up in my messy basement shop area...

I thought I'd pass along these two web sites for anyone that's interested: Welcome to STROBEPRO.com - Budget Promotion - Silkscreening, Embroidery, Promotional Products I met the young man who owns these two businesses here in Calgary and was quite impressed with his entrepreneurial spirit...

Put this together the other day, using a 150 watt CLS bulb in an aluminum reflector. Your thoughts....better ideas...etc.

This just happened about an hour ago......house fire down the street from where I live. They had to use the fire plug at the end of my alley to hook up.
