So I got a new camera for Christmas and I want to be more proactive with my photography. I hope to update this photo journal at least weekly with images, I might even tell some people about it. If you don’t know who I am, my name is Spencer Presley and I’m currently pursuing a journalism degree from the University of Arkansas with an emphases on photojournalism. I work at a portrait studio, am a staff photographer for the Arkansas Traveler and I’m starting to get into wedding photography on the side, so it’s sometimes hard to find the motivation to get out behind the camera on my own time.
Here are some of the first shots with the new Canon 30d. I also bought a 580ex flash head that can command my old 420ex wirelessly. The shot of Jacqueline and Gracie was my first attempt at the master/slave setup with the 420ex to the right, bouncing off the ceiling. The tower shot was taken at Lake Fayetteville and the other shot of Jacqueline was taken in our kitchen with the 580ex mounted on a flash bracket.
