Close-Up, Round 2
Posted on | September 7, 2009 | Comments Off on Close-Up, Round 2
Sunday, post-hike collapse and shower, we tried out the tripod along with the fancy new lens. The tripod was a bit too much to schlep around on an 8 mile hike, so it’s first use was in our front room. For this round, I was the subject.
We worked with the concept that had turned out so well when my friend photographed me with some olives. This time, instead of olives, I piled on a bunch of necklaces. It didn’t turn out looking nearly as tacky as I thought it would. So that was interesting. And it will come as no surprise to those of you who really know what you’re doing that lighting and resulting shadows were our biggest challenge. We had naked-bulb bedside table lamps lying, standing and swiveling to various locations on the floor. I was somewhere in the middle. We got some decent results, I think.
Learning as we go, (hopefully) moving towards improvement.
