Many, many years ago I was at the Bottom Line in the Village to listen to Don McLean and was mesmerized by the simplicity of his performance. Lori Lieberman (1971) wrote Killing Me Softly with His Blues in response to seeing Don McLean. It was later covered by Roberta Flack (1973) and still later by the Fugees (1996). Killing Me Softly is a song that came to mind as I made this image which has nothing to do with Don McClean, but does have to do with being moved by music. I worry about the fate of music in schools as I hear from friends that so many school systems seem to be cutting the arts from their offerings for students. In my world, there is nothing as essential or important as preserving the arts both in and out of school. Best viewed large.

Macro work with a tripod, my Pentax k20d, halogen light and crystals. This was purely experimental work, toying around with DoF and trying to achieve the bokeh effect. Just a tiny bit of enhancement and cropping. The goal was to achieve some background images on which to base Winter and/ or Christmas greeting cards, like: Some of the images I just find beautiful (more or less) straight from the camera.

With the rain outside … it’s time to do some table top! Ball placed on a sheet of black acrylic. SB-600 bounced off a sheet of white acrylic placed above and another flash snooted and fired downwards to form the soft glow around the ball. Blue tinge is from tungsten WB / Post work was limited to cleaning a few dust marks that still appeared on the acrylic.
Similar set-up to the previous shot Balls except that the SB600 was placed at 180 degrees to the subject bouncing upwards and the flash above isn’t snooted. Nikon D80 / Nikkor 105mm AF-S VR / SB600 + Cactus V2s wireless trigger / Brandless Flash + Optical sensor trigger / Blue tinge from altering WB to tungsten (works better than gelling the flash!)
