Cranes
Expect to see a few more shots of paper cranes before I'm done...
I've folded 53 so far.
This is actually a composite of 3 badly focused and poorly exposed shots. But my camera battery needs charging, and I need to cook dinner.
I was hoping this would work better, but it's fine, I guess.
I still need some tape so I can hang them up, but I've got a tally going to keep track of how many I've made.
I need a few speedlights, too... one to light to wall behind me, one for the key light, and one for my face, plus maybe a reflector, or a softbox... eventually.
Cranes in the mist
After I finished taking this, some homeless alcoholic asked me why I was taking a photo of it. I pointed out the barely visible crane in the background. "Ah", he said, "like a ghost story".
