1/80 sec @ f/1.8, ISO 400, 50 mm (EF50mm f/1.8 II) Today was a big day for my fiancée and me. We hosted our families for Thanksgiving Day for the first time ever. We had twelve people in total over at our town home. The day went wonderfully. The food and company was top notch. I also got to take a ton of pictures. Both my fiancée and I have historically been bad at making sure we have enough pictures of the members in our families to complete the projects that we have in mind. I have decided to change that for good.
This picture of the turkey, fresh out of the oven, was one of the first pictures of the afternoon. It is making me hungry again looking at it. While this turkey was resting, I set up my two strobes on their light stands and raised them as high as I could go to get a nice bounce of light off of the white ceilings. For the rest of the afternoon and part of the night, I was able to capture some really great pictures of my sister, brother, mom, future mother and father in-law, nieces and nephew, and even some of my fiancée and me. It will probably take me a weekend or two to get through and process them all.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!
