Yellow corner

Taken on a saturday morning in Budapest. The sun was shining in parallel with the street, causing nice shadows that detailed the levels and textures on the walls. It’s the same effect as the Strobist taught me, but this time with real sunlight.

This picture is not the nicest one I’ve ever taken, but I think it’s a nice response to all the people telling the Nikkor 18-200VR optics are crap. It might not be 100% laboratory tested distortion free, but when you’re on a citytrip, it’s just the perfect lens for me.

Bicycle models

November 18, 2007 | Filed Under photos | 5 Comments

For my birthday (2 months ago), I got some nice bicycle models from my girlfriend’s father. It reminds me of my younger days, when I used to play a lot with these things.

For these shots, I put the models on the kitchen table and used the Nikon CLS system to trigger my SB-600 remotely. To get some extra light, I used a mirror to reflect the strobe light to lighten up the dark side of the drivers. I had to tighten my diafragm to darken the room, as my D80 only supports strobes up to shutter speed 1/200.
