Here is my "Flowers" still life. I have many images of flowers, but I wanted to capture a part of myself and my poppy flower coffee cup spoke volumes to me.
My sedentary second life sitting there underneath my morning savior. My pencil and notebook where I write not only my course information down, but session ideas as well. My kindle to read all about photography and a few mandatory NEPA centered pdf files. These are what I use to organize my thoughts. I am trying to finish a masters degree, parent three children and run a household; all while being a photographer at the same time. Its a life of balance to say the least.
This was shot with my back-up camera...the Canon 60D and my 50mm 1.4. 1/320 sec; f/1.4; ISO 500. Indoors with the window behind the subject. Shot on manual and I used spot metering to meter of the subject so the backlighting wouldn't darken it too much.
