Rejoice

Last Sunday I went for a walk in the woods behind my home. It's amazing how quiet and beautiful it can be even in the middle of winter. God is like that!

Monopoly

Shot this in my kitchen with a canon 7d at F/5.6 @ 1/30 and ISO at 200. focal length 48mm. Used one strobe light with medium size soft box over top to the left and reflector on the right. Second picture of setup. Softbox was actually up higher and over top of monopoly game a little bit more. also different angle in shot above. I had broke everything down and remembered that I needed to shoot the setup.

Dessert Assignment

In our Advertising Photography class our first assignment this semester we were asked to choose a dessert and create a table top illustration.

I chose to do strawberries and kiwis. This was shot in studio using a canon 7d with settings at F/10 @ 1/125 and ISO of 200. For lighting I used one alien bee strobe light opposite the camera and over to the left with a #40 grid and fill cards on opposite side.

PaPaw's Pocket Watch

This pocket watch was given to my son Josh when he was 13 years old after his papaw passed away. It has a lot of special meaning to my son. The face on it is cracked because a short while after my son received it he accidentally lost it and it had been stepped on. In fear that he would lose it or that it would get totally destroyed he asked me to put it up for safe keeping. I'm sure that if this watch could talk it would have many more stories of its own to tell. I decided to use this pocket watch for one of my shoots to be able to share with not only Josh, but also his family, and the many people this watch has come in contact with that knew Josh's papaw "Jeff Eldridge." We miss you PaPaw! This was shot in my home on the kitchen table with a canon 7d using only 1 strobe light and reflectors.

Mathew 5:16

What started out as one project turned into another. Enjoyed playing with fire last night Lol, mostly ended up with a lot of hot wax on my fingers, but was pleased with the out come as far as the image. I have had a lot of fun playing around with some shoots here at the house while on break. Next week is back to 8 weeks of school and then 8 weeks of internship.
