Warming up time for Backyard Photography

Finally, in Ohio, the weather is starting to warm up. I decided to go in the backyard and talk pictures of birds. I wanted something interesting and different. Using my 100-400 at 400, I got what I wanted. Well somewhat. I wanted a flying moment, and that will be my next goal.

For me, light is the first thing, and my goal will be based on that. This little guy(maybe gal) posed for me for about a second. A second is all that I needed.

I am so glad spring is coming. I enjoy nature and look forward to taking pictures of nature. The nice thing is getting outside.

Chicago, Light and a bottle of Water

Back in Chicago to play with light at night time. I walked around the city of Chicago with our model and found this excellent light opportunity.

Playing with Light in Chicago. Behind the scene

After looking at the situation, we took our model and placed her about 25 yards from the sign. When I set up for the light of the scene, I noticed the low light on her face. With the help of the Icelight, I was able to take care of that.

Final of our model and Chicago

Never let a good thing go to waste. We took advantage of bottled water and pouring it on the ground to make a reflection. I find this amazing, something to think about when you are out there.

Reflections

So there you have it: a city, light, and a bottle of water. You never know what you may come up with.
