PAW 31

Like I said in the previous post, I had every intention of posting some sort of balloon picture this week; however, I didn’t know that my granddaughter would be getting a puppy!

I know I said that I would attempt to minimize posting pictures of my granddaughter but then could not resist the temptation.  Besides, isn’t this a “paw” theme?

Picture made with Canon 7D, 15-85mm lens, 580EX II bounced off wall behind me.  Settings were ISO 800, manual exposure of 1/160 second, f5.6; shot in RAW and processed in ACR; cropped to about half the original frame.

My granddaughter, singing to us on Father’s Day, was too much to resist for picture of the week. 

Canon 7D with 15-85mm IS lens and 580EX II flash mounted on-camera.  Settings were ISO 1600, 1/60 second, f5.6, manual exposure.  Flash with 1/4 CTO gel and bounced off a wall behind me.  Using high ISO and and light fill flash bounced from walls behind me is a new technique for me but I’ll be using it more often.

A Few More Seconds

Mike Johnston’s The Online Photographer is one of the sites that I check daily. Mike has another site, Photoborg, which is currently featuring old cameras and family snapshots. Photoborg articles have a short story or description along with the picture.

Yesterday’s Photoborg feature, my granddaughter Wesleigh, gives me a few more seconds towards my allocated fifteen minutes of fame.
