I set up my 45 inch <a href=\"http:\/\/www.adorama.com\/WEU45SB.html\">Westcott reflective silver umbrella<\/a> with the <a href=\"http:\/\/mir.com.my\/rb\/photography\/hardwares\/classics\/nikonf4\/flash\/SB26\/index.htm\">SB-26<\/a> on 1\/2 power and for the on-axis fill used my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kenrockwell.com\/nikon\/sb400.htm\">SB-400<\/a> covered with a plastic <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WY_JKz9detM\">Country Time Lemonade<\/a> container over it as a diffuser. (The lemonade now resides in a Zip-Loc bag in a kitchen cabinet.) The point is to throw some light to soften the shadows created by the main light. Now, David Hobby uses a ring light as his on-axis flash. I don&#8217;t have a ring light. I&#8217;m not even sure I know what a ring light is. I had to make do with my DIY rig.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/dondailey.files.wordpress.com\/2008\/10\/dsc_1828blog.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[379]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/dondailey.files.wordpress.com\/2008\/10\/dsc_1828blog.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"dsc_1828blog\" width=\"449\" height=\"399\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-498\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I think I was supposed to use a hard light source as the key light. Maybe just the bare flash without the umbrella. Oh well, I think they turned out pretty nice.

Abby has pounded some pavement with these shoes with the bling on top. I have been wanting to take a few pics of them just to have as a reminder of the stuff she had when she was a toddler, but I wasn&#8217;t very inspired as to how to go about it. Then the Strobist posted a <a href=\"http:\/\/strobist.blogspot.com\/2008\/10\/on-axis-fill-ring-fill-against.html\">description of how he shot some shoes<\/a> and I thought I&#8217;d give it a try. My set-up was the SB-26 gridded at camera right at 1\/64 power and the SB-400 Country Time Lemonade special on the camera, f\/11. The more I look at this one, the more I like it. The shoes almost look 3D.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Abby was looking pretty cute right after her bath today, so I dragged out my Strobist gear to try some on-axis fill flash.
