image number 29 of a 30 day photo project

I feel like I took the easy way out today. I reused the mini paper landscape for the silhouette. I also reused a sunset photo on a monitor as a background.

image number 24 in a 30 day project

My wife is having her tattoos removed. After several sessions, one of the two tattoos is almost gone. The other one is getting there, but will still need several more treatments.
I grabbed this photo during her latest session at extink.

image number 21 from a 30 day project

Well, this photo was a lucky accident from earlier in the day. The shot I was trying to make happen did not work out, at all. I was hoping to get a decent shot of some christmas lights lastnight, but the gorpo did not capture what I hoped it would. Oh well, shooting photos with the gopro is sort of guess work anyway.

photo number 16 in a month long photo project

I stuck with the gopro theme again today.  Using the wifi backpack and phone app, it was pretty easy to set up a self portrait.

I'm a day late posting this shot. I decided to watch that 
zombie show instead of processing a photo.

This one came together while discussing a different photo idea. There will be another image that involves this mask, and it will be awesome!

- the 8th photo from a 30 day project -

Nothing too special about the subject, just needed something to test a lighting idea. 



The white shades are from an older project that never really ended.

the 7th image from a 30 day photo project


I'm not sure what sparked the idea of photographing a two dimensional paper cut out, but I like where it went. First, I had to come up with the idea for the scene, then figure out the scale of it. After that I sketched it up and cut it out. 

The lighting came together really well, I thought. I used two lights, one for the background/moon and an another for the paper scene. The paper scene was lite from underneath. I used a couple of  green gels to give the trees some color.  




This was the first time trying this sort of thing, but I had fun with this one.

day number two of the 30 day project:    The aquarium at Fort Fisher



I couldn’t decide on just one image 



check out more from the project

An image a day - part 2



Two years ago I put together a month long, daily image project. I figured it would be fun to try  again,  so for the month of November I will capture, process and post an image daily.  I’m a day late posting the first image, but I promise it was captured 11/01/12.

The first image was shot pretty late in the evening. After a long day at work and driving three and half hours to Carolina Beach, I was a little tired and looking to make something happen pretty quickly. After walking out to the beach and seeing the moon, it was pretty easy to come up with a rough idea of an image. 

After image capture I hit a bit of a hiccup. The only computer I had access to didn’t have photo editing software that recognized Nikon raw files. Luckily there is a wifi connection at the condo, so I downloaded a trial version of lightroom 4. (lightroom 4 rocks!)  

Anyway, here is the first image of 30 images to come this month.
