Muah!
A nice little kiss from my girlfriend. This is also one from the evening our parents came to visit us and is basically the same setting as the portrait of Martine.

Martine
This is Martine, my dad’s wife and although she refuses to believe me, she’s very photogenic. 
I took the picture about a week ago, when she, dad and my girlfriend’s parents came to visit us. Lots of very nice spontaneous pictures came out of her. I like this particular one for her dreamy look. The background is a beach cabin which serves as a garden house in our garden. 
Strobist info: Martine is standing under a little roof. Sunlight is coming from the camera right. Speedlight 580EX II through a white umbrella from the camera left. I forgot the power I put the speedlight on (I usually do). Does anyone know if it is possible to retrieve detailed flash info from the EXIF?
Red wine
A nice bottle of red wine I drank a couple of days ago. Couldn’t resist to take a picture of it. I took this one with the flash off camera. Below you see the setting. The purpose was to take a picture of the entire bottle.
The bottle is place on a white cotton sheet. The flash is placed above it and placed as close to the wall as possible in order to avoid a border line between the table and the wall. The bottle is a bit in front of the flash to have a small shadow and to avoid harsh spot lights on the neck. To soften the shadows I placed a reflector on the other side. And this is the result:
