Day Five: Exciting New Things

I'm still a day behind, yes I know. I'm working on it. Technically, today is day six, I just have to finish editing the photos...

Anyway! I was initially going to do this photo in black and white, but when I doing the gradient in photoshop I noticed some presets and tried them out. I kinda really liked this particular one! Instead of going from black to white, it is violet to yellow orange. I really love it!

Exciting things is the title of this post for a reason. Mostly because of the exciting things I shot that night, but also the night I had in general. I don't think that I'm really supposed to talk about what I was shooting (not killing anyone, ya silly goose). HOWEVER, I will be uploading the photos to my flickr page after I've edited them. Keep your eye out!


I don't usually get a chance to hang out with my friend Steve (the guy above,) but that night I did. He's especially fun to hang out with when I've got my camera out. He's always trying to find some interesting to do for a shot. This was one of them. We were taking a break from shooting and he found this pipe thing somewhere. Then there's the idea to make it look like he was trying to attack me with it. 

I really like these shots for a few reasons. First of all, I love his face! Especially in the second one. His expression is priceless. Secondly, I got a chance to use my flash. Second and a half (because it has to do with a flash), some of the lights that they were using were photography lights. With most of the shots that I was taking while using my flash, the lights around me also went off. It made the exposure of the shots pretty well perfect!

It really makes me want to have my own studio. I guess that's something that will happen one day... one day.

  1. Why thank you! I want to try out a few of the ones that photoshop has as presets, then make my own once I figure out how to do that.
