Tiger, Very Relaxed

Marie noticed Tiger lying on his back earlier tonight:

Meanwhile, Tiger’s sister, Freckles, was perched by the fireplace looking inscrutable.

Marie and Tiger

I got a new piece of gear today, an Orbis Ring Flash Diffuser.  It’s a round plastic gizmo into which you insert a speedlight.  The Orbis channels the light out a circular diffusing panel with a hole in it through which you can insert the lens.  Thus, for close-ups, you get a large light source which creates very few shadows.

These are some shots I got while playing around with the Orbis earlier tonight.  I used a 50mm lens on my NEX-7 with ISO set to 400.

Marie on the Buettner Family Step

This is near the top of the steps leading up to the Ski Jump in Iron Mountain, Michigan. I am told that several years ago the steps were in an extreme state of disrepair.  They were refurbished with money from step sponsors.
