Chloe, You Bounce To-And-Frowey

Ok, this lil' ball of energy is named Chloe. She's the recently-turned-5 lil' munchkin of an old car buddy of mine. She was the reason I'm considering buying a real speedlight to deal with changing lighting conditions and a kid who likes to run around close to the camera, then far away, then somewhere in between lol.

Anyway, on to the show. Here are a few of my favs:





Maybe I should concentrate on Black & White? Hmm...


This one's just plain AWESOME!


So that's her. Her personality is as bright as her sweater! And I figured if I can make good pictures of her, I can photograph almost anyone! ;)

Potato Launcher

At Mike's Maze, there was a pneumatic potato launcher thingy. Pretty cool. I tried to get my Event Photographer Skills on, but I think I failed miserably.

I tried to get the potato as it left the muzzle, but I still have to get used to anticipating w/ the slow Mamiya response time. Oh well...

So here you go:




I'd like to thank the family that lent me the opportunity though. Pls check back as the year progresses to see improvement in my work.

Focal Points and Viewpoints

So I shot w/ Ginger in Northampton and came across a kick-ass toy store that had UglyDolls! (My sis loves those friggin things.)

This is where we met two unlikely (but lovely) models who were nice enough to pose for me. Thanks again you two! Hope you enjoy these shots. Sorry if they're a bit blurry...a half a second is a long time to hold still haha.




After that, I proceeded with my assignment where I had to take different viewpoints on different subjects as well as break up line and use color and contrast and all that jazz. I didn't feel so successful this time...but it sure was a hell of a lot of fun that day! Ginger went home that day because she felt sick, but I was lucky enough to hook up with some down folks.

Here's a couple other shots:
tried to adjust for color/brightness a tad, but they uploaded funny again. :\
