Demonstrating the twist flash technique in my office, I need more color!

After the Wednesday Night Worlds ride, I grabbed Sam and we went back to school to help a student with her evening light balance assignment. After we finished, I found this part of a necklace, a grading sign?

My other brother sold his 1800 plus square foot house to move to a much smaller house but ON Lake Murray. He held an estate sale and is down to what you see in the storage POD (hint hint Deb!)
Anyway while visiting my mom, I heard he was in a pinch to get stuff done before the mortgage inspection, so Sam and I redirected to help him, painted the out buildings (Sam was awesome and painted a large well pump house on her own) fixed some plumbing, a short swim and a dump run before we headed home.

Next section's lab. Same as yesterday, except I switched the umbrella for a Octodome softbox.

This week's long lab was an introduction to remote flash and tools used (Pocket Wizards, Wein slaves, using a flash or camera to master control flashes, hard wiring, gels, softening light, etc) I started the lab with a demo. This is using a Vivitar 285 with a optical slave, a Nikon Flash in an umbrella and a Canon Flash with a homemade snoot. The Nikon and Canon were fired with Pocket Wizards.... I just wanted to show in 5 minutes and using "pieces" a nice portrait is possible!

I have to search my other camera for what I shot, but I did open this week's lecture with this quote.

Why does my student look so unhappy while learning about custom white balance settings?

Before and during a lightning storm. Bad part of living under a mountain in a bowl of trees, no good sky view.

Since we were up, we went seashell hunting, surf fished and had breakfast. We spend the day on teh beach, playing in the water and just relaxing.... a great start to Sam's summer!

To celebrate the end of 7th grade and Sam's straight As report card, we hit the beach for an overnight trip. Fishing from Kure Beach pier produced sharks, spots, trout, drum and a couple other fish I didn't know. The highlight was feeding the small fish to the pelicans.

A student left a picture of me on my board after our long lens lab.... not sure what generous one is about?

Last week when I was in NY, I found a cheap set of running boards to help my family into the truck until I can afford sliders. The end caps didn't fit with my fender flairs, so I cut/bent and bolted some temporary end caps. After the shiny diamond plate goes away, I will paint them with Plastic Dip.
