Two Things I Love, as One

So I really couldn't resist posting this. Enjoy

Sunsettings

I took my first sunset portraits today. In fact, it was David's susnset photo tutorial that convinced me to buy an off camera flash in the first place. Now, I'm hooked.

Anyways, Anna Ogi (supermodel at large) was kind enough to pose for me while I tested out this shot. More shots can be seen at my facebook album (presumably available to the public...)

So, who's next for portrats?

Finally!

So, the big day is finally over: I got my strobist kit today, and what a glorious thing it is. I'll upload photos soon of my complete kit, including the nifty little case I found at the hardware store to carry it in.

So basically, I skivvied off work today at KULR-8 and shot some photos of the big 8 out front.

A few more random shots, and I'm sold.

Basically, I love this whole setup, though my sync cable has a bit of trouble every so often but I'll live with it.

So, moral of the story is: Kyle NEEDS people to model for him. Anyone, and the first 5-10 will be free, so basically you're getting decent semi-professional portraits for next-to nothing. Call me or email for more info (me@kylebjordahl.com).

Still awaiting the UPS man

So I finally ordered my strobist package last week, and now I'm just waiting on the UPS man, whom I am already angry with because they don't deliver on weekends. So much for 3 day select shipping, 5 days after I ordered it.

I did, however, get a Nikon SB-28DX on eBay the day after I ordered my strobist kit from MPEX, and it showed up on Saturday care of the USPS. Odd, I ordered it a day later, and it showed up the same day my UPS stuff should have, and I paid less for shipping. For once, the feds beat the private sector; I never thought I'd see the day.

Well, I'm going to go out and chase UPS trucks.
