I almost missed this one, it was so tiny. I get excited when I find one doing something beside trying to hide.
nice photos....is that lunch that he is holding??
Nice captures, but I believe that at f/22, you lose a bit of resolution due to small aperture diffraction.

Me too. It adds a "story" to the shot.

Thanks, Tom. I think it was mid afternoon, so more like brunch.

Thanks, Douglass. I'm sure your correct. I'm playing with a new (to me) Lester Dine ringflash, and should have changed the shutter duration instead of aperture. Thanks for the reminder.

Good eye! Cut end of a 2x4.

The D7000 shortest duration with speedlight synch is 1/250-sec. I recommend f/16, and reduce your ringflash output a bit to obtain proper exposure.

The SB 600 power unit will only allow -3.0 compensation so I tried decreasing shutter duration to 1/1250 and it worked.
Just a quick shot to see what would happen ISO 100 f16 1/1250

Your D7000 will not properly synch with your speedlight at 1/1250-sec. The slit is so narrow at that shutter duration, you might not see the area exposed by speedlight. View the GIFs in this article to see how narrow is the slit at short shutter duration:

I suggest that you set your SB-600 to Manual output with diffuser in drop-down position (which will automatically set speedlight to widest coverage). You can then select 1/8 power, 1/4 power, 1/2 power, etc.
