Fun with flash

Went shooting with a friend this weekend and it was awesome. Had a lot of fun with flashes. Things are so much easier when there's someone to take a picture of as well. Also, even though we didn't have 2 receivers to trigger our flashes together, the manual method of triggering (I trigger mine manually while his flash goes off with the camera) worked out pretty well and it was a lot of fun. Hopefully I'll get the pictures we took on his camera soon, but here's a couple that we took of each other jumping around and stuff (next time, I'll have to make sure I wear something better).

Bokeh

Ever seen a monkey riding a whale?

Been playing around with my Sigma some more and I love it.

New lens! Sigma 24mm f/1.8

I'm loving the shadow depth of field + crazy minimum focus distance

Trial with seem-less bg

I don't have a seamless background big enough for a real person so I decided to test out some shots with one of my favorite anime girls, Rei Ayanami, instead using just printer paper.
