Since it’s been raining and windy I’ve not been out too much. Instead I’m continuing to work on lighting and product photography using my own watch this time.

I haven’t posted a photo of Jaxon in awhile. Here he is watching one of favorite PBS TV shows on a rainy afternoon.

Playing with a few ideas for Valentine’s Day. I’m posting this early because I’ll be on the road on the 14th heading to Moab, Utah for a photographic adventure with some friends.

This was bit challenging getting the white of the watch to separate from the background, and I had a hotspot from my Speedlight which I cloned out. I need to learn how to use flags to prevent Hotspots and unwanted reflections. I’ll be experimenting and practicing with flags as soon as I make/acquired some.

This was a challenging exercise in timing, but fun! I am planning to try this again with two speedlights soon.
