Combating cabin fever & winter blahs, we head out on a sunny day to wander the countryside. Stopped for dinner at the Bistro 54 Italiano in beautiful, downtown Perth.
These gentlemen were the epitome of small town hospitality.

Strange brew

Last class for lighting. Post production at a nearby eatery.
Used lessons learned to set up the shot (external flash on TTL, ISO to 500, slow the shutter to allow ambient light) and asked a pretty girl in the next booth to snap
the shutter. All eyes open – not bad.

This second item is part of the final assignment for lighting class – the magazine cover. Although strictly not an image taken today, it is a creation put together for submission today, so in it goes.
