Hey, I have that book. Got it many years ago. And I'm still not a great guitar player.

I got it when I started taking lessons this year. Actually finally making progress as a result! At least more than I ever did by myself
Well worth the money.

Lucky grab shot, at 2300 hours or thereabouts, first one of the day... Walking to get to the car, after finishing some stuff down town. The first that grabbed me was the moon over the rooftop, but that would most likely have needed a tripod to get done proper. Instead I had a bit of luck with the pair in the front started behind me and just walked into the shot. Dialed in -1 on the exp. comp. LR NR and Topaz Sharpen used

There’s tons of blog posts and YouTube videos that talk about how to use flashes. When it comes to on camera flash the almost universal advice is “Don’t do it!” I’ve been doing two things a lot in the last year. One is using ttl flash. It’s kind of new to me. I’ve always been a manual kind of guy when it comes to lighting. The second is I’ve been putting the flash on the camera.
All those diffuser domes and little (sometimes not so little) bounce cards and little soft boxlike things don’t make very nice light. Bouncing the light off something and making sure no direct light from the flash head hits the subject does make very nice light. A lot of times the flash is bouncing off the wall (or something) between me and my subject. I’ve been using a black foamie thing as a flag to block any direct light.
My choice of on-camera flash modifiers
So today’s photo is a not so good self portrait shot with on camera flash. It’s bounced off a piece of foam core on camera left. I would have used a wall or even a window (yes, you can bounce off windows, it’s not very efficient but it works) but there was a doorway right where I needed to point the flash. Direct light from the flash would have spilled onto my "model" without the flag on the flash.

I’m so sorry about making you feel bad!Shooting that at F16 and 1/4 second thereby effecting an image of motion in the water whilst the stone remains still demonstrates a proper thought and strategy behind the shot - you've made me feel bad about my snapshots.
OK, annual inspection done (very late). If things go well tomorrow I'll be back in Tombstone. For tonight, after trying to come up with something other than another chess shot (final one or two this week), a snap of my three "keeper" watches. Provided they don't suffer failure or get stolen, likely my last watches. Other stuff going to have to go now.

Saturday morning cartoons were a staple of my TV viewing well into my twenties, and this little guy was one of my favorites.
I have a t shirt with him on it. No Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator, however.
