DAY 36: It's a good thing I don't blog about the media, or else I'd burn up a lot of pixels here railing against Dan Rather and his excuses benind a $70 million lawsuit against his former employer. Don't get me started. 
Instead I will comment on today's tripple post. Today I had the opportunity to make a very quick shot of an office birthday cake. The room was well lit but by playing with exposure and flash intensity I was able to isolate the cake. Sure, it could've been repositioned and the camera angle could've been better, but it is an interesting study.
As for the other two shots of stepdog I figured out that getting down on dog's perspective helped immensely. This time I put my Speedlite 430EX on the end of my monopod and connected it to the camera with a hotshoe cord, or whatever you cal it. By varying the intensity and position of the bare flash I was able to get good results from these early experiments. More to come, I'm sure.
