365 Challenge #233 - show me the light!

Sunday, the day of rest - not! It was time for the Creative Photo Workshops natural light/portrait workshop.

Assembling once again in the training room of Photo Continental, Shelton and Glynn taught us some awesome ways to make the most of natural light, both indoors and outdoor - posing our gorgeous model Nicole everywhere from in front of a window, in a door, in the car park and against the wall of the local library.

Location really has little to do with awesome portraits. That was rather a large a-ha! moment for me this week. I loved that they demonstrated how to pose a person to make the most of what can be Queensland's pretty horrifically glary light.

Here's a couple of shots of the lovely Nicole. And not a flash in site! You can see a few more on my Flickr photostream.


365 Challenge #213 - Getting used to the new accessories...

With the endless %#*&^(! rain in Brisbane this weekend, I've been apartment-bound and itching to use the camera. Decided to take a few pics of moi, using the tripod, cable release, and natural light from my main window, diffused slightly by upturned wooden blinds.

My parents, who are travelling at the moment, wanted me to send a pic of me wearing my new specs. I'm still getting used to lenses of this variety...L-series, of course!

So, as I get used to my visible signs of aging, I hope you're enjoying your weekend :)
