Ballet I
This is my second attempt at messing around with the Duaflex.
I've figured out that I don't need to drape myself with a black cloth, like I thought. Instead, I made a paper tube out of two pieces of black construction paper roughly taped together and placed it over my micro lens. When I stick the tube over my Duaflex, it keeps out most of the light that I don't want in there.
A cardboard tube would possibly be more useful, but the construction paper is doing a pretty good job, for the time being.
I'm still getting used to holding the Duaflex in one hand and the Nikon in the other and trying to focus and keep both cameras steady all at the same time. Fun!
It is fun! I just finished making my "contraption" this afternoon and have been playing around.

these are so great! i've never been able to balance it all and hold it still enough to take pictures of people.

I love these photos - so dreamy. Just like Marley! She was so cute today in the May Faire dance!

thank you! ani, i was sitting in a chair, holding the duaflex with my legs and hovering over it with the nikon (with a long tube of black construction paper taped around the macro lens). all the other moms watching the ballet class were giving me sideways glances. pretty funny.
