    …and I received a shipment of fail anyway. I thought the issue was “no people as subjects.”

    Yay! I got all three posted with voting enabled, so Elsinore doesn’t need to fix my lack…

    Thanks! I’ve looked into the diopters and extension tubes, and I’m thinking it might just be better all around to go for something like the Tamron 90mm f/2.8.

    Ideally, I want the Nikon 85mm f/1.8 and the Nikon 105mm f/2.8 VR. The Tamron makes a reasonable compromise at approximately 35% of the total for the other two.

    Correct. I’ve simply been aiming the one on the camera straight up at 1/128th power.

    Yes. You stick the flash on the camera, enable your particular brand of high-speed sync, and trigger your other strobes from the PC connector on that flash.

    It even works with Pocket Wizards – an acquaintance of mine has done it with remote Vivitar flashes on Pocket Wizards from a Nikon D200 with an SB-800 on-camera, triggering a Pocket Wizard from the PC port.

    I’m considering going for the innuendo, and posting a picture of a strip club that burned to the ground.

    I met Eve through another local photographer. She just happens to have a portfolio on that site.

    Tripods aren’t really the place to cheap out.

    Thom Hogan agrees with you. And I agree with him.

    I’m moderately surprised that my shot of Briana and Leo isn’t doing better than it appears to be – anyone else ever think that their tastes in their own photos might be really, really skewed compared to vox populi?

    (And thanks for the comment, Mr.BobDobalita!)

    Thanks!

    It’s been a while since I entered one of these…

    I hate when I submit one without enabling voting. I forget – should I post another one, or can a moderator fix that for me? It’s the lightning strike.

    On Saturday there was a Strobist gathering in Jerome, Arizona.

    We did some shooting in a car graveyard. Or a ghost town. Depends on what you’re looking at, I guess…

    Last time I saw that particular error, it was related to an authorization problem. Does the FSM authenticate to the Fark servers?

    It’s always something… You all can blame me for the FSM issues. Since I didn’t forget to enable voting, and I’m actually getting some votes, of course something else would have to break – just to piss me off.
