Whoa! A Self Portrait?!

Another week down, and another month as well. This project is quite fun, I'm having a blast and learning all sorts of new tricks. This week I played with my new 50 1.8 quite a bit more, and took the time to experiment more with light.

Enjoy!

Day 051 - Urban Wonder



I headed into the city this week to work with my good friend from high school on my website. I bought a domain last week and I'm hoping to have the website live in the next few weeks! Stay tuned!!

Day 052 - Food Porn



Having Monday off from work, the lady and I went out to a nice brunch at the local iHop. I know, classy. This is the french toast cinn-a-stack and holy heck was it good! Tasted exactly like a giant cinnamon bun! Oh, and I'm in love with my new lens.

Day 053 - Anti-Picturetaker Portrait



This is Alex's step-brother Jared. He doesn't enjoy pictures too much, but I knew I could snap a keeper of him! Ok, I'll admit it. This was taken on Sunday but I couldn't let it miss the project, I love this shot.

Day 054 - Wild Card



Alex and I spent the night at my Mom's house and played a game of Five Crowns. If you guys haven't played, it's a great game and worth it to pick up if you see it. I totally won... not really :(

Day 055 - Food Porn: Take 2



Now this, this is a breakfast. I am usually in a rush for work but this time I had time to make me some food, and take a shot! Again, I'm in love with this lens.

Day 056 - The Man Behind the Lens



This is me.

This week I took the time to read some about lighting and decided to try what I've been reading. I don't use strobes, I use constant lights so I can see what I'm going to shoot without having to guess at settings. I'm really proud of this shot, and happy at how it came out.

For lighting I made a snoot for the main light and placed it about 3 feet away and raised it above me. The back light was about a foot away from me and about two feet from the wall.

Day 057 - The Proposal



This is another shot that happened on a different day :/ Man am I slacking or what? This happened on Valentine's Day but I was asked to keep it on the DL for a few days. My best friend Bobby proposed to his girlfriend, awww. Look forward for an engagement set come spring time!

Well, that's all folks! Expect a website in the future, til then:
