More Strobist Assignments

This is the 2nd strobist assignment. We did some experimenting with color correction gels on our off camera flashes. Specifically CTO gels (color temperture orange) These come in different strengths, full, 3/4, 1/2, 1/4 and 1/8.

For this assignment I use Tonya for my subject, a much better looking subject than myself this time. We started with the full CTO which is quite orange. Then graduated down to the 1/8 CTO. I bounced the flash off a white background on Tonya's left and used a reflector to bounce a little bit of light back onto the right side of her face. I'm still undicided which I like the best, but I'm leaning toward the full CTO even though it really intensifies the orange.

Dillon Brothers Double Header

May 2 the Nighthawks 10u select baseball team Dillon Brothers Harley played a double header against the Millard Hooks. Game one was all Dillon Brothers winning 15 to 5 thanks to some good hitting and aggressive base running, not to mention playing some pretty good defense.

Game two was a bit more challenging maybe too many hotdogs between games or something, but the bats went to sleep for most of the game going in Dillon Brothers last at bat down 9 to 5. But then the bats woke up with the first two batters reaching base and then a 2 run tripple by Tyler Push started the ralley and they didn't stop until they pull out the victory winning 10 to 9.
