Shot with my new 50mm prime lens.  Quickly becoming one of my favorite lenses of all time.

You can’t  help but smile when you are playing in the pool.  Kinda’ like you can’t help but yell at your brother when he splashes you either.

Strobist Info:  30 degrees behind the model is a 550EX laying flat on the ground at full power.  45 degrees and to the left of the model is the 285HV at half power.  Both triggered by the Cactus v4 triggers.

After watching this video I feel like I can be a pro photographer!  Kevin is inspirational in the fact that he doesn’t blow $100,000 on a set, uses his own space and turns in some edgy Soccer photos.  Kevin does this in a low ceiling, room with very simple backdrops and good command of his subjects.

I’m flagging this video for my further review for when I get a big assignment and need to calm my fears with simplicity in shooting.

I’m giving this video a full 5 stars for inspiration.  Kevin’s not teaching technique in this vid, but he’s illustrating how he runs the show, which definitely makes this episode a must see!

Sometimes you swing for the fence and wonder why it just rolls off the tee!  The ball just started to roll off and the batter’s helmet was just starting to twist around.  This little girl is tough as you can see her staring the ball down.  I took the name of the post off of the bat which can be perfectly read, too.

This seems to be a good post until I figure out my next project.  I’m sure I’ll find inspiration shortly.
