Hi everyone! Sorry that it has been so long between posts. After completing the 52 weeks I decided it was in everyone's best interest to take a few weeks off. I've still been shooting a lot and working on another 52 week project with a group of photographers, but haven't been including Jonah on any of those photos.
So, here we are - April 22 - and the temperature barely got above 50 degrees here today. Sadly - that was the norm for this spring. Don't get me wrong - I love running in these cool mornings and I will be longing for them when Mother Nature decides to be testy in the other way and make it 80+degrees with 90% humidity at 6 AM. . . I know it's coming. However, all of the rain and cold has made for a dreary, lingering end to a miserable winter.
All that said, though, Kristi and Jonah have been trying to get into the spirit by working on some plants. The flower above was purchased from a new local florist and Jonah picked it out all by himself. He was pretty cute as he proudly carried it down the sidewalk on the walk home. He's been watering it and watching it grow.
Photo-wise - here's my original vision for the photo:
After seeing it on the computer, Kristi suggested the crop above. I like both and can't decide which I prefer. Any thoughts?
Looking at the full frame - this is three lights: a strobe in a strip box low on the pots, a strobe in a white beauty dish high and on Jonah and a strobe with a grid pointed at the back wall. There are two white reflectors - one on either side of the pots giving a little more definition to the sides and backs. This is my 135mm lens at f/9.
Thanks for following along and thanks for understanding the break! I hope to make these posts fairly regularly now.
