I took a couple pix of the field light below with my iPhone, but wanted to shoot it with my camera ... I like the iPhone, but I like these too ...

Flash.

I went to a workshop at the local camera shop (Tuttle Camera) on Speed Lights. While I was hoping for more instruction (ANY instruction) what I got was a make-shift studio set up with 3 stations. The stations were set up with Tuttle's flashes and we were provided "commander" modules to use for the shoot. Anyway - I learned little but enjoy the images I got even though they are obvious and unspectacular. I think the most surprising thing about the drip shots is that the shutter speed was relatively slow (only 1/60) ... I went into that shot thinking it wold need to be much higher.

The drip shots are not and were not inteneded to be a sequence ... They are just the images I liked the best of the 20 I shot. I think the last one is my favorite (the last drip).












This flower was another demo set up at the class - A fake flower on a piece of glass with a side flash. I like the reflection. It looks like an imge you would see at Aaron Brothers in a frame on the shelf waiting to be purchased ... You know what I mean? An ad.

Moving Vehicle

I've never shot out of a moving car - So I thought I'd try it. I always see things from the car that I'd like to shoot, so I tried it. And I'll try it again.

 I was trying to get a picture of a guy in echo Park pushing a shopping cart. As I was going to point the camera toward him I hit the window with my lens and snapped the picture. Not sure what this is, but I like it.
