Spring has sprung Dahntahn.

28mm f/2.8D, taken @sirfrogsworth Challenge style (that's what I'm calling it), f/16, 30 sec, ISO 100.

Turned out a lot better than I expected from when I looked at it in the camera preview. Zooming in it looked way out of focus. Was not the case after I unpacked it into Lightroom.

Today I met Cindy Shears. And she rocks.

The Origin Story of Rhinoceress

Cindy Shears used to be an ordinary girl until one day, she discovered her superpowers. However, her family were not happy about it so they took her in to be studied by Doctor Kavita Rao. She discovered a DNA variance unique to Cindy and suggested her parents leave Cindy in her care until a cure could be found. Abandoned and locked up, Cindy used her super strength to break out and become the Rhinoceress. While she does engage in some illegal work as a super villain, she also bartends and bounces at the Invisible Light nightclub.

It looks like this bill was originally put forth on February 5th according to Pocan's website, but still, for an egotistical bastard like Musk knowing that this is out there at all (it won't pass without several miracles better used elsewhere) must drive him insane. So that's something.

A Study in EXPLOSION!!

With an hour or so to kill before work, I decided to do a little experiment with the LED panels and the velvet background. Our model tonight is the lovely and talented Archwizard herself, Megumin.

I took a lot of other shots with the LED panels in different configurations, but this set are edits from the last one. Nikon D600, 50mm f/1.8D lens. f/8, 1/20 sec, ISO 100, spot metering. LED panels left and right upper corners, tilted back 45 degrees. Light box LEDs on.

And here we go. First shot is merely cropped.

Next up, the Auto edit button. No other editing.

Third, I turned down the exposure on the entire image to minimize the background as much as I could.

And finally, I used the masking tool in Lightroom to isolate the background and turn the exposure on just the background as low as I dare. Megumin is still as adjusted with the Auto edit button.

I could've turned it down even more to hide the turntable, but chose not to. It's cooler this way, yes?

As per @sirfrogsworth, I don't particularly *need* the expensive VL Flock material as long as I can hone my lighting and editing skills to make the standard black velvet do the same thing.

As an aside, I've lived in this town for TWO YEARS now, and I don't have a single photograph to show for it. I keep going an hour away to take pictures of the city instead. I need to fix that.
