55/365. I'm not giving up ~ Less Than Jake (Al's war)
There's a tiny gut feeling inside that makes me smile anytime I get to pair a selfy with a Less Than Jake quote (a band I've loved since 1996).
On another note, I finally pulled the trigger on the SB-900 (to have it in time for SouthBy). It will be a great compliment to my SB-600 as it can make the perfect two light setup. Erin rounds out the lighting family with a Genesis 200 and a Vivitar 285Hv. Between the two of us we're doing well in pwning the strobist world (although it's no David Hobby collection).
On a final note, I hope everyone is enjoying the Quickr Flickr script. There are some known issues that I'm working on fixing soon enough. Cheers. Happy Tuesday everyone.
Strobist info: SB-900 @ 1/4 triggered via CLS (grrr — it was being picky tonight). Zoom head @ 135mm with 1/1CTO gel (although worthless since I went BW anyway). Light was 5' from me (camera-right if it wasn't obvious) on a 7' tripod (not lightstand — my wife took them for the day).
Camera info: Nikon D700 | 14-24mm(f/2.8G)@24mm (cropped in PP) | f/4.0 | 1/4s | ISO 1000
Merry Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve is in just a few hours. Erin bought these great plant seed berry thingies and set them on the table. I wandered about the living taking pictures of everything "except" this. I filtered through all the pictures on the camera and decided to take a few more. This shot was one of those and it turned out well. Merry Christmas Eve Everyone.
strobist info: SB600@1/8, to left — ceiling bounce

Tried doing a product photo shoot of Erin's Canon gear that she's selling, but the cat felt that she deserved more attention. I had to spend a few minutes petting her, but eventually I was able to continue the shoot.
Merry Christmas
