Seamless Beginnings
I am beginning to setup a seamless background setup (a la Zack Arias) in my basement. The white seamless has been hung from the ceiling. Now I have to purchase my sheets of tileboard and test my lighting setup. Shot with iPhone

Over the weekend we had a little more rain, so I broke out my umbrellas. Photo umbrellas, that is. This shot was taken with an SB-900 set to 1/4 power, camera left through a shoot-through umbrella, backlit with a SB-800 camera right zoomed to 105mm at 1/32 power.
It's fun to tinker with lighting, which I don't do enough. The more I play, the more I learn.I have been using the PhotoForge app for iPhone for some time now. It works amazingly well at improving iPhone photos. Here is a before and after of a shot that I edited in PhotoForge with the simulated HDR and unsharpen mask effects.
Chase Jarvis has created an incredible photography "ecosystem" that hit this morning called The Best Camera. It's a combined iPhone app + book +photo sharing community. Check it out at http://www.thebestcamera.com/
