As I mentioned yesterday, my strobe kit birthday present came in yesterday. Today I spent every waking moment using it in all imaginable situations, and I got a lot of beautiful pictures. This was taken on our pool table after dad finished practicing. He recently made me clean it off, so now all the stuff that used to be on it (light box, 1500 watt lighting, 1st place picture from Evening of the Arts) is now under it, So we can use it again. Of course the first thing I did when he finished was bring all my new lighting equipment in the room, umbrella and all, and start snapping away. I only took about 20 pictures before my fancy new lithium rechargeable AA batteries gave up the ghost, so this is the best of 'em. I used the umbrella to soften the light from coming from my one strobe, and on top of bouncing it off the umbrella, I put a poster just to the right (just out of the picture) to reflect all that light back onto the shadowed side. The result is this, a very cleanly, evenly, and softly lit pool ball with light coming from only 1 source.

I like it. Nice and simple.
Are you a good pool player? Is that "11" of some significance? Good simple, crisp outcome.
