207/365. I believe I can fly ~ R. KellyI think about it every night and day

Today, Mexico beat USA 5 - 0 in a futbol game. Why do I know this? Despite Twitter telling me so; the Mission District has been going crazy all day with the honking and the noises.

Anyway, I had a strobist info video... but it's time to get back to my lazy sunday.

strobist info: 3 x SB-900 @ 1/1 (or rather, 3/1?) into 28" softbox camera right.

camera info: Nikon D3 | 24-70mm(ƒ/2.8G)@27mm | ƒ/5.6 | ISO 200 | 1/100s — Tripoded

132/365. I consider skateboarding an art form, a life style and a sport ~ Tony Hawk

It's no secret that I love skateboarding. Been doin' it since preschool. Nevertheless, tonight was frustrating despite it being perfect weather and zero traffic in this alley (I could have posed nude (Ha, yea right)! The exposures just weren't turning around right... and I finally figured it out in the end, that I never set the ISO (it was at 1,250)... even that rim light at 1/128th was coming out too bright (I thought). Oh well, the life of a 365 goes on.

One particular thing to note is that everything else you see (broom, roses, detergent buckets)... they were all found lying around in the alley. Figured I could make good use of 'em.

Other than that, you strobofenes can read on...

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
