After the puppies, I took a few quick portraits of the hostess, testing a few lighting options. I'm quite pleased with the results, although I forgot to turn down the ISO when I switched to flash. However, the two remote flashguns worked a treat on the shots of the Chinese dress. The shots in the blue dressing gown were done with a powerful daylight bulb in a desk lamp.

( Bigger and a few more )

Current Mood: accomplished

Seems to be a recurring theme at the moment. Yesterday, I visited the Humphreys to take photos of

autumn_storm and her puppies followed by home-cooked dinner; today I visited

robinbloke to take photos of his and my Pyrates outfits by Silk and Steel Designs and then we cooked some Granny Adams and Italian Stallion (best name for sausages ever) bangers and mash for lunch.
I was really wiped out afterwards so didn't stay for gaming fun which was a good thing as I was so tired that I missed my usual turn-off from the A14. o_O

( Here be Pyrates )

Many thanks to

robinbloke for hosting and taking the photos of me.

Current Mood: sleepy

My Pyrates costume (flouncy shirt, waistcoat, trousers, headscarf and sash) has arrived and it looks awesome! I can't try it on until after Tai Chi tonight and then I'll post photos (filtered against those of you who will be at the game, of course ;oÞ)
