Alaska Photography

I decided to sell my 40D and wanted to take some decent photos of it so I built a studio box.

I cut holes in three sides and taped tracing paper over the holes, one on each side and one on the top

I set up three flashes and put a poster board under the camera.

This is the resulting shot after playing around with settings. You can see the reflector I used in the lens.

Once I got the settings right, it was as simple as swapping the objects.

I think I will play around with this box some more, thanks to strobist for the idea.

Photo of the day is a hand held HDR taken on our weekly long dog hike. I love bringing either my 100-400mm or my 70-200mm IS f2.8. Carrying these lens around 6 dogs is hard enough so I don’t generally bring my tripod. The sun was up high and I knew I would be disappointed with one exposure. You can see our trail there in the distance. The dogs had a blast!
