I was experimenting with bounce flashes and making the light soft and diffuse. I liked how the wall color I chose to bounce off of, I was happy with the temperature and quality of the light.

I took this picture of a coworker getting the final programming for our presentation ready. I just thought it kind of summed up what we were doing. “Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain” Basic Date Modified 2012-01-23 22:39:40 Date Taken 2012-01-16 07:08:48 Date Digitized 2012-01-16 10:08:48 Camera Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XTi [more]
I took this picture on the way to one of the conference sessions. I just liked the sheen and smoothness that the water provided.
