2010.9.30 October is here. Strange. I love where I live, I still have roses blooming away on my driveway. Also, I need a new battery for my Pocket Wizard Mini so the strobist experiments will have to wait another day.

2010.9.29 (Strobist info – 580exII hand held, triggered 4 times at 1/32 power, twice on the right and twice on the left.) Night Frisbee. Always a fun game. Decided to bring the strobes out to play with the frisbees tonight. Not much of an “organized” strobist experiment, more like light painting with the strobe, but…
2010.9.26 (Strobist info – 580exII on full power directly in front of the subject. Mid-day sun no diffusion almost directly behind subject – very, very far away. Flash triggered with PW Flex/Mini’s) I’m not all that happy with this shot, but doing a combination project 365 and public strobe experimentation I feel I have the…
2010.9.25 (Stobist info – 580exII camera right and about level with subject and 10 feet away, 1/32 with CTO gel, shot through 1/8 grid, triggered with Pocket Wizards) I’m back in town, and able to continue on my road to stobe ninja. Let the experimenting continue. Tonight I wanted to play with warming the flash…
2010.9.21 I took my parents out to dinner at one of their favorite spots when I was in SLC as a good son should. On our way out of the parking lot there was a single sunflower by the side of the road with the light just barely touching it. I had to stop, so…
2010.9.20 (Mom) I’m traveling today so I have to take a break from my Strobist work. I had to travel very light and by e thtime I brought my stuff along for the day job I did not want to add some light equipment to the carry on’s. I did have a chance to have…
2010.9.19 (Strobist info – 580exII camera right at about a 45 degree angle and about 10 feet away at 1/2 power triggered with pocket wizards. The sun at about a 45 degree angle camera left, 93 million miles away and always on) Next week I’m going to have to use another of my offspring, Samantha…
Just a quick post for me to show you how beautiful Samantha is getting. When she was really, really young I started calling her “Scoopers”. I’m not 100% sure, but I’ve always assumed it started with a really messy diaper and I call her “Pooper Scoopers”, but I don’t remember the exact time or place….
2010.9.18 (Strobist info – 580exII through snoot 1/34 power behind subject and to her left with PW’s, big midday sun shinning though trees in backyard) I think Samantha is getting tired of the lighting fun I’m having, she refused to look at me this time. For the subject, I liked the old and new in…
2010.9.17 (Strobist info – 580ex II with shoot though umbrella slightly camera left full power triggered with pocket wizards, big huge sun still in the sky but very low, behind subject and camera right) My strobist experiments/practices continue. This time I wanted to see how well the 580ex II would compliment or compete with the…
2010.9.16 I’m continuing my Strobist experiments. For those of you who have asked or who are following along and are not photographers, the word “strobist” refers to the use of portable flashes off camera. If you are a photographer and didn’t know that get you butt immediately over to David Hobby’s site Strobist. I haven’t…
2010.9.14 Say hi to Justin. This picture is not my best obviously, but it is the start of something. Enough procrastinating, I need to gain my ninja like skills at all things strobist. I haven’t done much with flashes since I had my studio long, long, long ago. No I’m working with small speedlights. I…
