day 334 - in your face



yep, back to the same composition. up close and personal. this time with colored gels in the background.

setup shot:

day 333 - farther away



working in my small living room, i seem to keep setting up the same kind of shot.... tim really close to camera, background in the distance, crop just below the shoulders.... yeah. it's becoming my signature look, and i'm not sure i want it to be. i think i'd rather have more flexibility in my moves than just "this one shot is what i do". so maybe i'll back away from the camera for a while. do more of a three quarters shot.

setup shot:

day 332 - triple hard



three hard lights with a gold/silver reflector added into the mix. it does a great job of the white outline, with some nice softness in the middle.

day 331 - bokeh



wanted to do a bokeh shot, so i decided to set up with my neighbor's christmas lights in the background. short depth of field from my 35mm lens, at f1.8

no setup shot.

day 330 - wide open



still working the two reflectors, this time it's with a white umbrella, gives it more of an open bright feel.

day 329 - 2r, 1bd



two reflectors, one beauty dish
