52photo #8 – Vanessa
March 3, 2010Bonjour! Welcome back to my blog!
This week I am actually on the ball and I shot my image a night early, because tomorrow my time is already spoken for:)
Last week though, I thought I had set my image to post during the day while I was at work, but something happenend and it didn’t work! Of course that made the post late (as I didn’t realize it), so this time I am just going to post it tonight, to make up for lost time!
For this week I decided to give you a little snapshot into what my life is like. Vanessa is one of my housemates, along with her kitty. Both of them are quite the characters, and we have a lot of laughs.
For this shot, I once again used my favorite combo of the Canon 5D and my 100mm 2.8 Macro lens. For lighting I used a 580 EX II on my camera, which triggered another 580 EX II that was on a lightstand about 2 feet in front of Vanessa and a bit to her right, just off camera. To soften the light, I picked up a Honl Speed Strap this week, and I used that to attach a Honl 8 inch Speed Snoot. The snoot can be either opened up to act as a modifier, or closed to act as a snoot. It’s a pretty neat product, and you can add other items to it like grids and filters.

Anyways, here is the image! Have a great night everyone!
