OK, this is my first post of the year. I made a New Years resolution to shoot every single roll of film I have in the refrigerator this year. That is going to be a chore since I have around 185 rolls in there. The weather today is not cooperating and my hangover yesterday was a greater deterrent. All I was able to do was play with the G9 and 420ex with Gary Fong Lightspere on it. Granted the G9 looks a little silly with all of that flash and modifier on it:
My G9 🙂
The Fong modifier actual does work. I found this used and do not think I could justify the full price for the thing. Here is a shot of Birdie my cat.
Birdie
She is about the only subject I have when I am stuck indoors and she does not like this modeling stuff one bit. I was just about 2 feet from Birdie with the dome cap on the lightsphere. G9 was set to Tv mode at 1/250 and the aperture became 3.2 at iso 80. All I did was a little cropping since composing Birdie is quite problematic, and a little white balance adjustment. The background is a mirror and is a little washed out since it was reflecting the flash. All in all I am happy with this result for a quick grab of a PITA subject. I like the 420/Fong combo and will be playing with it more in the future.
