slacking

on the blog updates lately. Suffice it to say winter is still here, spring is buried by about 3-4' of snow in the yard still. Luckily we made it out to Boulder on Friday night. We went to Sherpa's to celebrate Helen's birthday (this Friday, 4/11 actually) with the Hills. Saturday Helen and I were lucky enough to get out and run/ride for a few hours each. Sunday the snow moved in, and it snowed off and on all day Monday and last night. Today it was overcast and 12 in the am, but has since warmed up to be a nice partly sunny day. Good thing, as they're forecasting over a foot of snow late tonight through early Friday morning. Yuck.

mid stride (or lunge) at Bill & Mary's house Friday night. she loves open expanses of rooms to cruise around in and tumble.


Bill's custom cabinet doors in his newly remodeled studio. they turned out well.


Alina with a typical dessert of a popsicle. I was messing with my wireless flash triggering by shooting a strobe from camera right so it would hit Alina on the side. Looks okay, but not great. But that would be the beauty of wireless eTTL, being able to meter properly on a quickly moving child.


A shot of our living room. The remote slave flash is in the foyer in the rear of the picture. Problem is that my slave has no manual control, it's either 100% power or no fire at all. In this case, it fired at 100%, and it's obvious that it was a bit too much light, at least compared to the mostly ambient scene. Weak, time for another $400 580EXII I think.
