So I did a really quick mockup of what Private could look like. Seriously, I popped off two shots and ran out so I could make it in time for dinner at Kaldi’s where I am now. :-) Love their veggie panini.
Anyways, here goes my thoughts for Private.
And fuck me running, I forgot to do one of the tub. Grrr. I’ll do that when I get home. I think Ryan and I are going to raid a few public restrooms tonight, if we can handle the stormy weather.

Took these tonight with the Canon SD870is with no tripod and a 15second shutter. Surprised really at how well they came out. I really should keep my nice camera with me, huh?
I did a photoshoot today at the Wine and Cheese Bistro featuring Chef Cyr and his dish, Seared Scallop with Spring Asparagus and Apple Cider Country Ham Vinaigrette. Yes, quite the mouthful.
Micheal and I went to the Wine and Cheese Bistro a few weeks ago and were definitely not impressed. We had a good time but the salad was weak and the cheese tray a disappointment. I guess we just ordered the wrong things because the dish that Chef Cyr delivered to the table today was beautiful and if it tasted as good as it smelled, incredible.
The lighting in there wasn’t so great. Was hoping to use the “natural” light in the restaurant but had a sneaky suspicion that I wasn’t going to get that option. The combination of overhead, low wattage incandescent lights with the green tinted sunlight streaming in the windows… yuck. Green faces and orange foreheads.
Here’s what I had taking a shot of the area before adding my lights.
Then, we turn on the left light and see what that looks like. It is a 650w light bouncing off a white light screen.
Let’s try the right light. It’s a 1000w light shining through a softbox to diffuse the light.
Put them together and this is what you get! 1650 watts of lighting power! Muhahahaha!!!

So here are a few shots of the dish and Chef Cyr. He was a fantastic sport getting his picture taken.

I had a fun time taking the pictures and he was fun to talk to while I did the portraits. I wish I had another softbox so I could close the aperture a little more to decrease the depth of field but, oh well. Sure looks a lot better than what I started out with! Just goes to show the necessity of good lighting.
Oh, and that I’m a huge nerd… ;-)
I made some cool photography goodness tonight. I have the stuff to make another set, but just ran out of time. But basically I turned <$100 in cash into >$1200 of lighting equipment.
My DIY Light Ring
My DIY Softbox
Not bad considering the price and that I did it without that whole making a plan thing, just ran to Lowes right before it closed and the wonderful people there helped me get the stuff I was going to need. I way over bought and actually am going to be able to return stuff and get money back tomorrow. How awesome!

Tags: Lighting, Me, PhotographyI’m supposed to be working on this lighting project for my photography class. Here are a few pics I took today using different techniques. Basically I used a really long shutter release and a handheld flash. Nothing spectacular but my first try at it.
I’ve the the crazy eyes in that pic… haha This next one I really like.
And this one just features a light box for soft light, my light “box” kinda sucks though, it is wrinkly. I’m gonna make my own that should work better.
Meanwhile, my computer is fritzing out on me. Check out my trash can.

Tags: Lighting, Macro, Me, Medicine, Photography, WowLast night I went bowling with Ryan, Richelle, Kevin, Cindy, Galen , Mark and Daniel.
As you can see, that would be the infamous Cosmis Bowling. At $14.00 a person… it sure as hell better be out of this world. And it was! I had a total blast. Broke 100… haha, not the best bowler but it was lots of fun anyway.
Rochelle, Daniel and Mark all have their own balls and ball carriers and shoes… they were quite fancy. Ryan and Rochelle seemed to be enjoying themselves as they danced with the … interesting music choices.
I also got to try out my new lens, it did quite a good job I think. Has some potential with experimental light photography as well as portrait photography.
It was a good fun time.

And the Columbia Balloon Festival was somewhat disappointing but still a lot of fun was had.
