More images coming soon, check in with the Gallery

This is the setup I used for lighting the Structure Series soon to be found in the Galleries. As you can see the light is behind the seamless paper on the edge, and with the wood behind the light the bounce allowed for the sepia tones to come through. No other light was used.

Check the galleries within the next coming days to see the complete set.

I was shooting outside the other day around the house.  There is a literally a zoo full of animals out here.  From Jacks, to Crows, and Snakes to Squirrels and all kinds of things like Roadrunners and lizards.

Anyway, these ‘common’ housebirds were just hanging out in the branches of this tree.  It was fun to watch them sway back and forth with the wind.   So I captured this moment.

I was playing around with an online video making website and threw this together.  I hope you like.
