5 Followers!

Yay for 5 followers! To celebrate, here is a neat "macro-like" eye shot. Google told me that I could put a 50mm lens on a telephoto lens and get some very neat, detailed close ups.



It's not perfect, there are still some things I would like to refine, but I think they're fun.

Let any of our mutual friends know I have a blog that they could follow if they are interested. Thanks for the support guys!

"Studio Lighting Can Be Fun! (No really, it can.)"

A few months back, I saw a photo of a girl made-up to look like one of Roy Lichtenstein's paintings, and thought it was such a great idea. Ever since I have been dreaming of doing similar, possibly for my bfa project next year.

So when the next assignment for my studio lighting class was to create an "artistic interpretation" of the word "ring", I jumped at the opportunity to use this idea. We put our heads together and found a way to make it work. This was the outcome:


It was a blast and we are all really excited about the images. JLynn (our amazing model) was such a trooper and let us paint all over her.

Okay, I'll admit it, studio lighting can be fun--its just really frustrating before you get to the fun part.
