A mother and 2 children came over last Thursday. One children decided to stay for the day and actually let me get up close with the camera. This shot was taken with the A100 and Sigma 24-70mm.

That is a tough one to spell! The bloom is lovely though. This one was from an early evening shoot nad I was trying to catch it with some fill light from the on camera flash. This is where a wireless flash would come in handy. It was taken with the Sigma 24-70mm and A100, although I am thinking the Minolta 50mm f/1.7 might do the trick.

I had a 2 minute trip to the park while taking Sarah for ice cream. It is was quick set of shots and green everywhere. This one was taken at a little pond at the park. In the distance, you can see the harbor. That is an area for some good morning pictures. I have to get up early enough one of these days. The shot below was taken with the A100 and Sigma 24-70 f/2.8 combo.

The Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 is not really a macro as the closest distance is 13 inches, so these shots are about as close as one can get. I had to do a crop, but did not enlarge the image to sacrifice quality. I shot them in my homemade light box with a lamp to camera left and a hot shoe flash. I really need a wireless solution.

Sarah was all dressed up for Mother’s Day and I could not help but grab some shots. Unfortunately, the sun was ruthless and I could not find a good angle to shoot at. I did use fill flash on these, the shadows were really strong and everything else seemed blown. The shot were taken with the Minolta 50mm f/1.7.
