Project 52…”Not a Good Idea”

Well, I got a little lazy with my Project 52 the last several months but I’m going to end the year strong. I’ve got 6.5 weeks to shoot 36 Self Portraits in order to have 52 of them done by the end of the year. I’m not sure if I’ll make it but I’m going to do my best. This one is # 17 in the series and is entitled….”Not a Good Idea”.  Haven’t you ever wanted to touch the ends of the jumper cables together before. I mean, be honest, haven’t you been tempted? Well trust me it is …”Not a Good Idea.” LOL.

Here is some technical stuff for any fellow photogs out there. This was shot at iso 200, 180th of a sec at f8.0. I’ve got one flash up above at camera left pointing down at me at 1/8th power and a second flash to camera right and sitting about stomach high on my desk pointing up at me at 1/16th power. The second flash was covered by the edge of some material from another umbrella sitting accross the unit. Of course I played with it a whole bunch in photoshop. I added a little texture to make the background a little more interesting. If you have any questions please send me an email. Enjoy.

Beautiful Calamity

This last week I had the opportunity to do a shoot for a some guys from Crawfordsville, In. that have started their own Christian band. They call themselves “Beautiful Calamity”.  I had a great time hanging out with these guys and we got some great shots! Two of the guys are still in highschool. They are fun, creative, full of life and they love to use their music to honor God. I don’t know about you but that all sounds great in my book. If you want to hear some music from their recently released demo you can check it out here. Thanks guys for the opportunity to create some awesome images for you….I had a blast. Oh yeah, and thanks for the CD!!!

Project 52…”Hidden Surprise”

Okay, I know I just posted a Project 52 pic but I shot this on the same night that I shot the Versus pic.  The title of image is “Hidden Surprise”. I don’t have a long back story on this shot I was just looking for a fun concept. I love shooting different concepts. I love creating “art” with my camera. If you enjoy following my blog and seeing what new ideas I come up with then consider subscribing to the blog and getting updates directly to your inbox.  Simply insert your email dress in the subscription bar on the right of this page and follow the directions!! The more followers I have the cooler I feel. ((Smile))

Now for some technical stuff for all my photog friends. I shot this with three flashes, all off camera. There are two flashes on the right and left of me pointing toward my shoulders. I have home made snoots on the flashes. The idea was to create some seperation from the background causing me to stand out a bit more. The third flash is inside the box and has a yellow gell on it. All three flashes were set to 1/8th power. The camera was set at 1/60th of a sec at f 5.6 and iso 100. Please leave me a comment and let me know what you think.

Andrew

Last Friday I had a session with Andrew. We had a great time. He will be a senior this year at Lebanon Senior High School. One of the things I found out was that Andrew loves video games. So, we took a controller and created a crazy “Video Game Maniac” shot for him. We had a great time. Thanks Andrew for letting me create your senior pictures.

Attack of the Books

Here is the next installment in the “Project 52″ series entitled….”Attack of the Books”. If you want to know more about the project and if you want to see the rest of the series you can find it all here.  Here is the story for this shot. I love to read. I love books. I love to read books. When I was first married Julie would get so aggrivated with me because I would stay up into the late hours of the night reading. Well, little has changed. I have a garage full of plastic totes and those totes are filled with books. I love books. Last weekend while we where camping I managed to read a six hundred page novel. How, I stayed up late and read. I love books and reading…get it? Good. Well my idea with this shot was to create a “dream” like effect where my books have “turned” on me and have started to attack me. I thought it would be a fun idea and I’m pleased with how it turned out. I hope you enjoy. As always please leave a comment. Now here is some technical stuff for all the other photogs our there. This photo is actually 12 individual photos stiched together to form a composite. The first pic was of me. I have four flashed set up around the room and I’m shooting from a tripod set low in my entry way. I have two flashed on either side of me and slightly back behind me. I have a third flash on a boom arm over my head and slightly in front of me. The fouth flash is camera right. They were all fired wirelessly and the settings were….ISO 100, 1/180 sec at f 5.6. For the rest of the pics I had my wife throwing books, papers, etc. while I sat on the floor and shot them. Once I had the pics I pieced them together in photoshop and ….Walla!!
