Day 8 - Sympathy for the Turkey

I honestly did not believe I would make it this far!  But another day bites the dust.  Scene setting - my kitchen, inside the oven, now that's a small studio!  I used one of my favorite lens, the Canon 15mm f/2.8 fisheye.  The creativity potential for this lens is only limited by the users ability.  I placed a Canon 580EXII Speedlite inside the oven manually powered at 1/32 and triggered by a Pocket Wizard.  The light was bounced off the ceiling of the oven to soften the blow.  The 5DMKII was set at ISO 800, f/8 at 1/25 second shutter speed.  Focusing on these super wide lenses is relatively simple since they have such a great depth of field.  B&W conversion using Nik Silver Efex Pro2.

Now you know what a turkey feels like on Thanksgiving day!  God bless the Turkey!

For those just tuning in, this is my ongoing attempt at a 365 photo project - this mad man is hopelessly attempting to capture a self portrait every day this year.  Stay tuned as the shutter clicks!!!
