Random PICTURES!

Aw, but it's a nice idea. I would definitely do it, but I'm not a professional photographer, and I don't even own a good camera. The only camera I have is a hand-me-down when my sister bought a new camera.

Years ago my friends and I did something similar with artwork. We were always really into sketching, so we decided to do a sketch every day for a year. Didn't matter what it was. By the end of the second week everyone was doing dumb stick figure comics just to have something to put on their blog.

I think those kind of things are best left to a week or so at most.

A few shots I managed to get from the entrance into my subdivision. These are litterally within eyeshot from my backyard. And this is only a fraction of a fraction of the damage caused... no casualties as a result, though the building I show the looks collapsed had people trapped inside. Only a few minor injuries, though.. not bad for an EF-5 Tornado.

And apparently it had been on the ground for a while before it hit us. 132 miles on the ground?

not so pleased with all my pics, but that's kind of the point of my May project... :/

I dig the long exposure of the pond. And that's a very handsome dog.

I have some maternity shots coming up, and I'm worried that every photo will look incredibly cliche'. Maybe that's the draw of maternity photos? At least it will give me a chance to finally use my new lighting kit.

Thanks. I'd like to redo it with a little less exposure time and higher f. The flare is killer in that.

Yours? Why didn't you tell us?!

That'll be a cold day in hell, my friend.

It's actually my friend Amanda, who did the topless shot a few pages back.

Aahhh, good luck! She seemed like the type who might be up for something out of the ordinary - so be creative and you won't fall into the realm of cliche.
I've been messing with light painting which will be one of my next few shots for today or tomorrow... might be something to play with on her...?

Light painting = 30s exposure in a completely dark room. Narrow beam flashlight briefly on what you want shown at different angles. So far I've gotten decent results.

I read a blog post a few months back from a guy who did this with a whiskey ad.  He dimmed the lights and just used a soft flashlight to paint around and through the whiskey bottle, then combined the shots in photoshop.  It looked amazing and really brought out the color in the whiskey.

I'd definitely like to try it some time.

This was probably the best I had out of my tries...


I need a better flashlight and to practice more. :/
