 Originally, wanted to take a shot of my Pit Bull charging at me, but as soon as I snapped off a test shot for exposure, she holed up in her dog house. I hate last minute changes of plan.

This is full of room for improvement, but after about 50 jumps (and almost that many years of wear on my bones), I just picked the best of what I had. Fun stuff to do with no "shutter squeezer" for assistance and timing everything to the timer. Thank God for the 3 blink indication to countdown blastoff...

5's or better would be sweet, but with all things considered, I'm realistically expecting less.

However, I learned TONS about light placement and had a good time playing around with it.

Peace

The block of black in the centre is problematical but the background really kills it. Great concept though.

Fantastic capture. I love the B&W conversion and the really tight crop.

Great capture and lighting, but the crop is a bit tight. It makes it feel a bit cramped.
