What Happened One Day When I Took My Camera to Work...

So a couple months ago, it was kind of discovered around my department at work that I dabble in photography.  And  since then, it has been part of my job responsibilities to take and or update the staff photos for new employees for our website.  For the most part, I just used our cheap Kodak point and shoot with it's built in flash.  That is, until it unexpectedly met it's end at the hands of a hard concrete convention floor and the stampeding feet of a few over-eager job seekers.  Suffice to say, the next time we needed staff pictures, I brought my own camera :-D.


I used my trusty Nikon D90 and an SB-600 flash without a diffuser (not that I didn't want one, I just forgot to pack it).  I ended up using a simple flash bouncing technique (discovered by some random tutorial ... YAYS for Youtube!) off a close wall to diffuse some of the light.



As far as the shots are concerned, lets just say I got a few less complaints than when I used the old Kodak :-D.
