In honor of the eclipse, which I did not photograph, I went out last night with a few other photographers, to shoot the Milky Way. Figured if I can't shoot the eclipse, might as well do SOMETHING celestial! . . . #milkyway #nightsky #stars #celestial #nikon #nikond7200 #d7200 #tamron1224mm #f4 #30seconds #iso3200 #flpg #ppsnys #hooperphotographic

Attended a Sr. Portraits workshop with the Pro Photographers Society of NYS (PPSNYS) yesterday. Was a gorgeous day to be out and spend a couple hours with some wonderful photographers and some beautiful models. . . #PPSNYS #portraits #discoverportraits #photo_collective #fstoppers #pursuitofportraits #withhumans #nikon #d7200 #nikond7200 #85f1.8 #naturallight #seniorpictures #seniorportraits #seniorphotos

I went to CanAm Photo Expo/Focus NY and picked up some new color gels for my flash head. Here I put a Pink gel on a honeycombed Gary Fong Snoot (Nikon sb-800 Speedlight), aimed at the background, and lit the rabbit with a Nikon sb-27 Speedlight in a 28" Westcott Apollo (camera left), bounced off a 5-in-1 reflector (camera right). The Eater basket, while fitting the theme, was essential to getting the bunny to sit in one spot long enough to get a few pics. I like playing with the gels! It's something I've wanted to do for a while now, and am very happy to have picked them up at the Expo for less money, and no shipping/waiting! #roguegels #garyfong #ppsnys #FocusNY #canamphotoexpo #bunny #rabbit #easter #cute #pink #westcott #westcottapollo
