I hope everyone had a great Christmas. Mine was incredible. I got to spend it with my wife and kids, and my wife's parents. Great times. I had all intentions of doing some shooting over the holidays, but never even came close. It's time to get back to the grindstone. Since I have no new pics to show you, I will post one from earlier in the year and talk a little about how I got it. This is Charis. She is a beautiful young lady that lives pretty close to me. She photographs extremely well and tolerates my experiments with light and angles. I had a sunset shot in mind this day but it was very cloudy, so I made my own sun. I used a speedlight camera right with a full CTO gel on it and used a cloudy white balance on the camera. I purposely set the flash at an angle to get some lens flare. An ungel'd flash was set up camera right to give nice highlights and to not make everything look so orange. Well you see the finished result and I like it. It is one of my favorites that I have taken. Oh yeah, I did find the coolest Cypress tree that I have ever seen last week. I am gonna go back with the Nikon later this week and see what I can do with it. I think it will make an awesome black and white.
Awesome pic!! She is gorgeous!!
