The f/stops here.

...to reuse an old saying, once used by Ansel Adams himself.  Or so they say.
In any case, I've got the two requisite images.  

My best this week, I'd say.  This one I took on Tuesday for a feature about Aspen Coffee.  The photo didn't run, sadly, but I think I got some OK images out of it.  One 430EX flash on the counter below the camera and under a ledge, triggered wirelessly at 1/32 power with the diffuser.  ISO 200 at f/4.5 and 1/200.  I particularly enjoy the framing in this photo.


The future Hamilton family.  Probably my favorite photo I've taken this semester... it's probably a bit over-saturated, but I say every image can use a little saturation.  As with the above image, there was a flash triggered wirelessly below me, and this time a bit to the right.  Shot at an ISO and shutter speed of 200, with an aperture of f/5.  It was my first attempt to utilize off-camera flash for more than just the sake of making things interesting or different... instead, I brought out the sunset.  I kinda wished I would have shot it wide and got the sun more in focus, but meh.

Hopefully this blog will be useful to all who use it.  Especially those who are still learning things like off-camera flash (see: me).
