Spring, spring, spring!

Because I was totally jealous of this.

Miss Beanie again, as I pulled in help to try to get a good shot of her for my friends. This shot has two slaved SB600s with umbrellas, the onboard D200 flash, and a backlight. Technically, should be a breeze, right?

WRONG.

See, thing is, when dealing with a high-energy feline in a 6-foot custom cat tree, all bets are off.

What I didn't factor in was Beans' cooperation (not bad, for a cat that just wanted to play, honestly) and the results of leaving my D200 in the car overnight by accident - weird fog refraction in the lens. Still making newb mistakes 3 years later!

Went exploring yesterday, after a lot of needful errands, and caught the golden late afternoon light at the Oakville Marina.

It was warm, in the sun, but my hands were sure cold after that.
