“All the troubles you have will pass quickly.”

Yes, please.

goofy faces make for fun portraits

hello, poo isn't here, please leave a message this speaks volumes about my general state of mind lighting setup for day 17

Here are two goofy self-portraits and a setup diagram for Day 17 of 365 Days. Lighting setup is pretty straightforward and easy to do. Making goofy faces while handholding the camera and trying to mind my lighting position was a bit more challenging. These two were the keepers.

Here’s the shooting and lighting info for these shots:

Nikon D300
Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 EX Macro HSM at 18mm
f/5.6 and 1/100 at ISO 200
Main light: Nikon SB-600 in a shoot-through umbrella at 1/8 power up high and about 45° out at camera right
Side light: Nikon SB-600 in a shoot-through umbrella at 1/32 power at far camera left
Back light: Bare Pentax AF540 at 1/16 power directly behind subject aimed at wall

Mia came back from her business trip to London on Saturday and brought back Paddington Bear for me. He has now taken his place among Luci, Fez Monkey, and the voodoo doll as my office toys. He is most definitely the cutest of the bunch.

friday love

even a voodoo doll needs some love

TGIF! The work week is done. After starting off the week a bit rough, things are finishing up quite nicely. I went out for a much needed night of fun and craziness with the Flickrites last night. I had a good animation review meeting today. It’s actually supposed to be nice here this weekend [knock on wood]. And Mia comes back from her business trip tomorrow. Time to spread the love!
