For this day I did several shots, but I decided to go with something more classically me that also showcases the talents of my new toy.

Yesterday pretty much sucked. It rained pretty hard all day, and I didn’t want to take the hardware outside in that kind of weather. There wasn’t anything interesting going on inside either, so I tried to shoot me making a drink, its a mix of Mt. Dew with Cheerwine. Focus wasn’t as clear as I would have liked it, since apparently the D90 really likes looking completely through glass, so after it was made, I did this shot. I think I would like to try the originals again at some point, just have to manage to focus on the fizz.
This was done with the D90 on the Gorillapod, using an Opteka softbox add-on for my SB-600.

This is a fairly simple shot. On the UNC-Charlotte campus, walking back toward the main campus from CRI and Chris saw this bird, and suggested that I could get the bird with the lens that I had attached at the time (Nikon 18-105mm). I think the shot would have been better with the 70-300mm lens, but the point of the day was to test both the D90 and her native lens at the same time.
