Week 51: Christmas or Bust!!


Jumping with Julie. Last model shoot of 2009

My only shoot and picture taking event was last Wednesday the 23rd. It was with Julie Riette. I'm a bit rusty on the studio lighting. Since the D80 is pretty much not operable I borrowed Mr. Mike Lee's Canon 30D. I'll tell you now that shooting with a canon is a lot different than shooting with a Nikon. I was a bit out of my comfort zone.

I had a bit of trouble get the the lights to trigger properly. Then realize one of the strobes were not working as it was suppose too. Never the less I got a few good shots off and Lillie was such a kind person to let me use her studio.

I put that statement "it's not the camera that makes the picture. it's the photographer" to the test. So you can be the judge on the quality of the pictures here.


I'm trying a different editing style. I'm learning from Lot 8, who's work I really admire and inspire to try and re-create. Still haven't got it yet but I'm trying.

here's a couple more edits of the old vintage look. These are from past shoots.

If you're familiar with PhotoShop It's not a photo filter of yellow. Rather it's messing with Layers and cross processing. I need to practice.

Well, that's it for this week. I hope everyone had a great Christmas. Were going into the final countdown for next week. It's the very last one for 2009. Then beginnings "365 days" of glory or crap.

Till then, PEACE!!
