Spontaneous...

Lesson Learned- NEVER go into the studio without an idea.

I asked two young ladies to model for me on Sunday night, and they both more than graciously said that they'd be happy to. The problem was that I had nothing for them to do except pose when they were in there...



Thankfully I had great ideas from the most helpful Madison and Jessie. Jen and Melissa were both awesome models.

At first, I tried to use just two alien bee's to light up my model, but I couldn't get the flashes to sync with just two pocket wizards (one being on my camera and the other on an alien). I finally gave up and brought the octabank out. Wahoo!



Next projects are going to include the famous Rebecca, and hopefully some ideas for off site shooting will spring into action.



(This shot may inspire me to do a Big Kids series...)

Blue Ridge Parkway

So Kristin kidnapped me the other day and took me on the Parkway...Dangerous idea, probably...



We attempted many things, including the crossing of barbed wire, which resulted in some close-to-very-painful injuries. Ended up with a few shots I enjoy, and yeah!

50mm

So I got a new 50mm f/1.8mm lens a few weeks back. Haven't had time to upload pictures taken with it until today. They were taken on my Nikon FE2 fully manual film camera. Yeah, I love it, and the shot was wide open.


Yeah, it's a short post. More or less trying out the new lens.
