The Right Stuff

Times were tough as a 1980’s Lego Spaceman.  Long before Benny shot to cinematic fame, mini-figures where out there surviving against all odds.

In those days, if your head got stuck on tight, taking it off with someone’s teeth was the only way to go.  And you proudly bore the scars from finally getting it off.

Fun Fact: in the 1980s we didn’t actually have blue spacemen on this side of the Atlantic: only red and white.

Testing the macro set-up for a product shoot next week: Nikon D850; 105f2.8 macro @ f5.6; single SB-800 flash off-camera with shoot-through umbrella; SB-700 Master unit; Nikon CLS.  All Manual.

 

The Smallest Visitors

I have no idea what these beautiful flowers are (some kind of Iris or Lilly?).  They grow very well in our garden and every year I end up taking photos of them at some stage to try out something new (a new camera, a new macro lens or shooting them in some different way).

I wasn’t going to bother this year and then I saw the late evening sun hitting them and tried shooting the light going through them.

As I did I spotted someone else had already made one of them home.
