#363 When in Drought...


I had a flash of inspiration yesterday as I looked out at my dead, brown lawn and pondered our recent drought-induced city ordinance that restricts us to watering only two days per week.







Now I know why you guys hate being on both sides of the camera! But I will say that live-view to the laptop with remote shooting control is a real life saver. It\'s a bit of a challenge to get the light and subject angles right, use the mouse to focus the camera, light a match, turn on the gas and light it, then hit the spacebar on the laptop to snap the shots while minding your hand position while regulating the flame and watching the breeze and nozzle angles - all before the plastic nozzle starts to melt!

#363 Flash in the Pan


I may replace this later but I happened to be near the local farmer\'s market and snapped a series of shots of this guy cookin\' up a storm. It was a fun challenge to time the shots for best effect.
