just a close up short depth of field shot of my sweatshirt. i thought it would look cool.... shirt in focus, my head a blur up there in the background.

day 291 - two dogs



our dog plays with the neighbor's dog a lot. they're pretty much best friends at this point. anyways, our neighbor asked me if i could take a picture of the two of them sometime. i think she meant a snapshot or something like that, but i took it in another direction and did a studio-ish portrait thing. and this is it.

i shot each one separately, since there's no way either one would hold still if the other was around. so the camera's on a tripod, there's a 40" softbox camera right, and a honl gridded sb-28 camera left doing that gradient on the background.

drop both pictures into photoshop, mask out critical areas, and there it is. two dogs.
