day 97 - big up small down



usually i rock a large main light source, and a small secondary / uplight. with this one i decided to go opposite, and have my main light smaller, and my uplight the large one. it worked out well. because my face is so far from the uplight, and so close to the main, it's almost not-noticeable.

one thing i didn't mention in the setup shot is that the uplight has a slight blue gel on it. oh, and i've started doing this thing where i plug my camera into the tv so that everytime i take a picture i can see it on the tv right away, instead of having to get up, walk around to the back of the camera, and push a button to see if my head got cut off or not. so that's really helpful.

oh, and i wanted to try a texture on this one, so i dropped that spill up on there. seems a bit cheesy, but i wanted to try it and see if it was something i was into. maybe in the right setting / with the right subject, it could be cool. but not so much here.
