Nina and the Grid

I bought a set of grids for my Einstein. Grids are used to restrict the spread of the light. The other night I took the 10° grid for a ride. I shot these in our family room. The light spread is so narrow you can’t see the furniture behind her.

An 18th Century Lady

From our portrait class last Wednesday night. Caroline came in full 18th century dress. And when I say “full,” I mean down to her corset!

Weekly Photo Challenge: On The Move – Two Wheels

My submission for this week’s WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge: On the Move

Sounds of Reno

I was cleaning out some posts still in “draft” mode and realized that this one from last October should have been posted. I don’t know what distracted me. Anyhoo . . . here you go.

Box A-23, Reno Air Races, 2013. The shirt she is wearing has a special meaning. The owners of this box silkscreen a commemorative shirt every year, and we who volunteer at Box Seat Security are always given t-shirts as a thank-you. This particular version was the shirt we were all going to wear on Sunday in 2011. Obviously, the crash on Friday changed those plans.

So we all wore them on Sunday in 2012 for the Tribute.

This year, we were given new “2013” shirts to wear on Sunday. And we did. Proudly.

Pheenix

Pheenix was one of our volunteer models on Wednesday night. She’s a beauty.

These portraits were shot using fluorescent lights. Pulled back to show a bit of the set up.

Stepping out from behind the camera

I’ve known Eric for a few years now. He is a fellow photographer and on Wednesday night he was assisting in Jeff Ross’ studio portrait class. We students cajoled him into stepping out of the dark and into the light (which in this case was two fluorescent lights to camera left).
