Seriously, view the details

Some of you remember our shoot with Tina from August.

This was an outtake that wasn't delivered, however now, looking back on it, wasn't all that bad.

Anyway, I'm posting this because I'm just getting over my first cold/cough of the year. Lame.

In other news, I'm still in the hunt for Photog of the Year. It finally ends this weekend (thank freaking goodness!). Your votes have been extremely kind, really. Like really, thanks.

strobist info: SB-900 @ 1/16 @ 17mm w/ 1/2 CTO into 43'' silver reflective umbrella - 5' above Tina (high left) (yeah, text info is lame)

No really, view this one large. Do it already.

Oh, yeah, and I am aware of how 365 projects work — but after Sunday I couldn't bring myself to upload a photo of an IHOP coffee mug after something like day 242. It just felt wrong.

So... this is Tina again... as I'm pulling another one from the Sunday shoot.

As you might be able to tell, this shot also leverages a single SB-900 into a small 43" silver reflective at a whopping 1/16 power ;) What a difference a little splash of light can do at night.

Ok. I should really get off to my daily photo now (albeit sleep is knocking loudly at the door)

242/365. This is Tina — visit the train station yourself

Todays photo features a "twopher" (yeah, that means two for one... or something like that). Be sure to view the subsequent photo.

Erin and I (or I should say Flash Bullet) had the opportunity to work with Tina, a model from the Bay Area via a new contact of ours, Phu Nguyen, who provided the dress, and his wife did the makeup.

This photo was taken in front of the Trolly stop at Market & Powell, San Francisco inbetween trollys coming and going (and as you can see, one is coming right behind Tina).

You strobaholics.... get on with your thing...
