I sort of had the day off, I spent most of my morning and most of last evening working though. I did get to do a lot of running around, finally getting to start Xmas shopping. OK, technically I started a while back, I've been collecting stuff for a little bit, but not getting the big things. I've gotten a few of the big things now.

So the FGR Challenge today is Hip to Be Square, a Square Format (Cropped) portrait. I didn't break out any my TLRs, this is just a simple square crop. For some odd reason, I decided to use the UWA, so I am a little out of proportion (at least the nose is). I had a slightly different composition in mind, but went with this approach. The background was just too busy, so I lowered the flash power and used a foamie snoot (just a sheet of black foam wrapped around the flash head). The 580EX-2 is camera left at 1/32 power, about 3' away.
