I tried to explain to Matt that he has gotten off easy in terms of picutres... i hardly take ANY of him, and usually when I have someone around as much as he is I use that to my advantage and have a built in model.
So yesterday he looked great and the light was good in the living room so I put him through a whole 3 minutes of torture...
Its only bound to get worse now that its nice out:)
i am starting to get some good pictures of riley
Yesterday Tanisha and Erica came up for a couple of hours of shooting as I build my portfolio and attempt to figure things out and learn. There were some AMAZING shots, when your models are gorgeous to begin with it makes it alot easier. If I don't have a meltdown about storage this afternoon you will find me in post-production on the photos and posting them later. But for now here are three quick ones:
People have been asking to see this one - not cropped, so I am just throwing it up here quickly:
I took some pictures of Alison yesterday while we were waiting for the babies to get there. I shot off a quick set of her and then some with her Kitty - I picked the best five and posted them on flickr here
this has been a chilly couple of days. The furnace has been on the fritz since the weekend and finally went kaput in the middle of last night. I could see my breath this morning when I woke up and then it took until 6PM to get a new furnace. I don't want to talk about how much that cost because spending thousands of dollars makes me nervous. The furnace came online at 6PM this evening but by then the house was too cold. Its gonna take all night to get it warm again - right now its 50 in here.
On a more positive note I got the five final pictures of Erica complete. You can see them here:
I was going to create a new header for each month - like the one I created for January - but I am a bit behind. I had a couple of photo events this week and alot of post production so it kept me from getting a new header completed... but maybe today! I got one done for my friend Alison so that worked out and mine should be done today.. in the meantime check out this picture I took yesterday for one of the guys at work.. i think its got too much portrait blur to it.
day 2 I had an easier subject - a 3 month old baby. I had alot of natural light in the apartment but she is a bit wobbly so I turned up the ISO a bit. I think these pics came out better than the last set I took of her and some are really cute. I didn't have to take near so many to get a set I liked, I think I ended up with around 100 and had a final set of 30 or so that I am sending to her. She chose her christmas picture already:
