The other evening as the sun was going down, the sky was beautiful, so I really wanted to do some more tests with my SB-900. After much begging (literally) I finally got Luisa to come outside and stand in front my camera. I had interrupted her during a good book, so this had to be…

This one is a Panorama consisting of about 10 vertical shots. …and this is from inside looking straight up…

Ken and Jen Perkes - I want to be with you when you go back someday and deliver photographs to these people. It has been fun to watch your editorial photography side: you clearly get a lot of joy doing it and it is reflected in your beautiful work.
