All About Alliteration

Letter A, day 12/14, 12/365

Alliteration could be a cool thing to shoot. You could string together a bunch of ridiculous props to generate an alliterative phrase…

But I didn’t do that. Why? Laziness, maybe, and I don’t have a bunch of crap lying around my house, I guess.

I did have some old Christmas lights laying around, so I taped those to my closet for some meaningless (but pretty) bokeh. I cleared off my little table on which my photo gear usually lies, and wrote down some stuff about alliteration on a pad… it’s all about alliteration.

There’s a single SB-26 high above the subject so I wouldn’t have to use high ISO and make the shot all grainy or smudged. You jack up the sensitivity (ISO), and you get grain. When you remove the grain, you get blurred, unsharp photos. I hate that.
