2009-01-26T23:46:00.001-08:00

Day 26 - spiderweb, originally uploaded by ken +.

I saw this cool spiderweb in a shadowy place in my house. A bit of setting sun was illuminating it when I got home. I planned on doing an HDR shot, but they didn't turn out.

Day 25 - Ice

2009-01-26T23:45:00.003-08:00

It only took about two hours, but I'm caught up for the moment.

Yeah!

Day 20 - Son

2009-01-20T21:08:00.003-08:00

Son, originally uploaded by ken +.

I really want to get lighting people with glasses down without any reflections. He's proudly showing his snow accident. Lighting info - SB-800 directly on his right side 1/16th power. Reflector held up just out of frame on the left. Another SB-800 snooted with a grid shooting on the background 1/1 power.

Day 19 - The Thinker

2009-01-20T21:08:00.001-08:00

Rodin has his, I have mine.

(Just a word of advice, it's a PITA trying to hold a flash and adjust manual focus)

Day 18 - Headshot

2009-01-20T21:07:00.003-08:00

Headshot, originally uploaded by ken +.

Trying out the clamshell or over under lighting.

2009-01-20T21:07:00.001-08:00

5.56 anyone?, originally uploaded by ken +.

I got a box of 5.56 and I liked how they were. I think I'll revisit this one and check for sharpness (oops)

If you don't know what 5.56 is... well it's another fun thing to shoot.

Day 16 - Time out, in the corner

2009-01-20T21:06:00.003-08:00

2009-01-20T21:06:00.001-08:00

2009-01-20T21:05:00.001-08:00

Draging the Shutter, originally uploaded by ken +.

Playing a little with shutter drag. SB-600 on camera right firing right to the window, flagged to remove glare (some on the picture still). Another SB-600 camera left to add some light to the shadow.

Please note the cool red-ish sky outside.

2009-01-20T21:04:00.003-08:00

2009-01-20T21:01:00.001-08:00

Product shot #2, originally uploaded by ken +.

Same lighting setup and the other product shot, just adjusted for round cilinder things.

These are Air Scents that you get a Bath and Body works... I think.

Day 11 - Product shot

2009-01-20T21:00:00.001-08:00

Product shot, originally uploaded by ken +.

Trying a product shot of leftovers from Canada. I got a kick out of shooting smarties that were rockets and M&M's that are smarties.

I like play on words, I'll have to keep that in mind this year as I tackle this project.

Day 10 - Cap

2009-01-20T20:59:00.003-08:00

Cap, originally uploaded by ken +.

I read somewhere where a student was told to lock themselves in the bathrom and not come out until they took a roll of exposures. I almost did the same thing. More close-up filters, manual focus and little DOF to blow everything else out.

It really is just a toothpaste cap.

Day 9 - Curves

2009-01-20T20:59:00.001-08:00

Curves, originally uploaded by ken +.

It just may be what you think it is... or is it.

This is an experiment in the world of abstract.

Day 6 - Cold and Stormy Night

2009-01-20T20:57:00.001-08:00

Cold and Stormy night, originally uploaded by ken +.

This was an "oh, crap I need to take a picture today". No post processing. half way through the exposure I started tilting the camera which gave it the "wispy" look

2009-01-20T20:56:00.003-08:00

Shot with some close-up filters on the lens. This is actually a close-up of my curtains.

Welcome

2009-01-20T20:30:00.000-08:00

Welcome to my project 365. For those that don't know what that is it's where a photographer takes a picture every single day. I made it a goal of mine for 2009 to do just that very thing.

I do plan on taking a picture every day, but I don't know if I will be able to post every day. I guess we'll see how that goes.

One word of warning - on the days I forget right before midnight or I don't feel inspired you'll just get a snapshot. Sorry, that's
how it is. I can't say that I have 365 ideas for pictures already, so I don't know what I'm going to do.

As you can clearly see it's now day 20 and I'm just getting around to uploading all my pictures. I currently have 407 shots to go through from 20 days.

Yippie Kayay!
