meetup

these are a few shots from a meetup i attended a while back. they came out really well. i applied a joel grimes-ish "wet look" to the picture up there in photoshop, and i think that was really successful. it just added a slight bit of slickness to the skin highlights that reads really well. i love it when i learn a new technique.

the new lens flare

set this one up with my ring flash just outside of the frame, throwing a lot of light into the lens, crushing the black tones in the image and giving it a sort of action-y feel. i really nailed the focus on this one, for which i'm pretty happy.
