Me Holding The Torch

Sorry for the big delay in getting this here.

I went down to the GM Center for the Olympic Torch Relay on Dec 16th. I took lots of pics and vid so here it is.

After reading through my all time favorite blog Lifehacker I came across a DIY mini photo studio. I have been looking to buy one from ThinkGeek for some time now and never thought about making it myself. After making it I noticed that I never got any lights so I got my LED flashlight and placed it on top (rather than the side). I got amazing photos but would like to get better lighting, something that I would have more control over.

Here is what I got from it.

The first photo I turned on the auto flash and focus.

The second photo I turned off the flash. I had to move the camera back because the camera would auto focus out up close.

The last image I used the cameras macro function. I was able to bring the camera right up close and still have an amazing photo with no blur.
