Another lesson from Pixel Pete

I read The Pixels in Pete's world every time he posts something and learn fun stuff from time to time. His latest is about a little gadget called Eye-Fi that uploads your photos directly to your computer over your modem.

The thing works as advertised, but it only comes in SD size and my favorite camera uses Compact Flash. Amazon to the rescue with a SD to CF adapter card.

I put it in my favorite Nikon, snapped a quick pic of my wife and a few seconds later it was on my laptop. I have heard there is supposed to be some kind of problems with this type adapter, but it worked perfectly for me.

Here's another in-situ studio shoot

I set up a studio in Chriss's garage, the same one I used in my last post (I just finally uploaded some of the photos to use in this blog because I finally figured out something to say.)

This was the same set up as my attempt to imitate Joe McNally and I see I should have moved the strobe with the silver umbrella from the top left behind them to low and in front of them. I'll remember that next time I get the chance for a shoot like this.

Team America!

It was a really fun shoot despite my fail at a Joe McNally shot.
