It’s a workday

One is sleeping in my lap, one is sleeping on the floor. I imagine you can figure out who is doing what.

As usual, I’m messing around with Lightroom 5 and my VSCO presets.

Comparison VSCO Black and White – Buddy

Here is Buddy with various VSCO B&W film treatments. I didn’t want to do the toy in the grass as the red and green read to close to each other in black and white. The differences can be subtle. What happens to Buddy’s eyes? The background? The shadows in his fur? All I did was add each film filter. I did not tweak. Obviously the filter is just the starting point and can be adjusted to suit one’s vision.

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.

More VSCO film. Still love it.

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).
