DIY meets slow day...

It's been a long time since I braved using my DIY ring light adapter and today seemed like the perfect day to break it out and create a photograph. I figured since I was using one DIY modifier, I might as well use two so I broke out a grid I fashioned out of black straws and a Sto-Fen Omni Bounce. It fits perfectly on an SB-800 and you can make one during the commercials of an episode of "Lost". Check them out:




The ring light adapter has seen it's fair share of shoots, thus sporting the tattered look. This was one of the first times, however, that I have ever used the grid. Worked like a charm and I hope to use it next week when we shoot a band called "Country Music". This is the final product...Jim on the phone:

Wedding shots from The Hulsey Wedding...

Thought we would share some select images from a wedding we did in Kentucky.

Can't and won't dance...

Last Saturday, Jim and I shot a St. Patrick Day party at The Greenhouse in Nashville. After photographing a slew of 20 - 40 somethings throwing their arms around each other and shouting indiscernible blurbs at the moment of shutter release, I needed to shoot something for myself. With an SB-800, a Pocket Wizard and a grid fashioned out of an extra SW-10H Wide Angle Flash Adapter I set out to do create a photograph of the DJ. Below are a few that I liked. You can see the flash in the second picture, but I loved the moment.
