I recently found myself in Norman, Oklahoma again and went exploring the OU campus for interesting things to photograph. At the time, I thought I had captured a selection of interesting subjects but on review later that day (and since) I have found that I have a few good photos and more than a few boring, uninteresting photos. While technically sound, they lack any real subject or meaning so will not see the light of day on here or anywhere else - they'll just lurk in my archives as an example of what not to do.
Here is one I do like though, a different view of the football stadium's clock tower:
There's been some other things going on lately, one of which hit pretty close to home. My 8 month old rat terrier, Amber, has been diagnosed with a condition called Legg-Calve-Parves Disease and will have to undergo surgery on her left hip that has essentially collapsed. Regular readers should remember her from a previous post where I posted on of her portrait shots as she is one of my "regular" portrait subjects. She's also a very active, loving puppy who is having to be kept relatively inactive to limit any further pain and damage to her hip. Here is another portrait of her taken before her diagnosis:
I will likely be taking a lot more photos (and posting them here or on Facebook) of Amber as I document her path from now through surgery and on through her rehabilitation...until she's back to her active self. Then again, I'll more than likely always take photos of her as she's such a great subject.
Other things of change going on lately - I recently purchased a Rogue Flashbender light modifier for use with my Speedlights. However, for the time being that will be limited to my SB-600 until I get my SB-900 replaced, under warranty, as it quit firing on me this past weekend. However, back to the Flashbender and what a wonderful thing it is. Small (smaller than an umbrella or softbox), portable, highly adjustable and gives great lighting from small flashes.
