365 day photo challenge!

August 20, 2009

I decided to go on this challenge for a couple of reasons. One, I want to put myself in every lighting situation possible and get great amazing pictures.  Second, I want to shoot something everyday…no matter what it is! I always feel a little rusty when I have not photographed in more than a week. Third, I am trying out new lighting techniques that I want to put to practice and get more comfortable with.

I will post them once a week and talk about how I got all of them. This is day one of the challenge, so here is my very first shot out of the 364 you are about  to see.

In this picture I have one flash set up on a tripod and other one on my camera to balance out the main light. This was taken in our little office at home at about 8pm (right before  bed time!)

I like the fact that the light is even all through the picture…his eyes are beautifully lit (taken in account our little office is quite dark).

I love comments, so leave one ( pretty please?!)

My sweet baby boy!

  1. Not photography related, but wow! He’s so cute!!! Look at those eyes!!
    I love how his face is in focus but everything else is out of focus. It does not look like you used any flash- that’s the point, right?! This is a great idea. I can’t wait to see what else you capture!! :-)
