A bit of backlighting...

Trying indoor lighting conditions for portraits this week.  This is Mrs P backlit by the window - what I could have done was get the reflector in front of her to shine some light back on her but with cats you don't get second chances for pictures!  

Still Life...

Put the fish eye away for a while and got the trusty 50mm out for some still life shots (this week's 'homework' for the Divas and Dreams self study course) .  These are photos of some candles I got from a charity shop (I only really wanted the bead things around them).  I took them next to the window, with white card as a base and backdrop and a reflector to bounce the light from the window back onto them.
