Closed for Today

To be honest, I'm very happy with this one. COmpositionally, I got what I got what I was looking for on the third snap. I also think it eally captures the moment cause my feet hurt and I'm exhausted. I like the whites on my shirt and how they contrast with my skin. I had to dodge and burn the face and hair a little to bring out some shadows and highlights, but other than that I worked out well.

Don't you want some?

Haven't you ever seen those pictures or clips on a movie where some guy is eating a delicious piece of pizza and you know you want some? Personally, I'm thinking of the opening scene to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: Secret of the Ooze. It's the best opening pizza scene I've ever seen. In fact it inspired me to eat pizza today because... I'm hungry. I also bought beer, which is awesome with pizza. So I thought for today's photo, since I already got the pizza from the shop down the street, would be appropriate. So the question is: do you want some?

Up

So I just got done working a split shift at Red Lobster... and that is hard work compared to teaching. As in hard on your feet, not so much on the brain. So I'm about dead.

Composition in Primary Colors

Portrait in a Daily Beverage

Since I have to take my photos in the morning now, due to a late work schedule, I am exposed to a different setting of my life that I seem to be ignoring. One of those early scenes would be my morning dose of coffee. The most delicious warm beverage known to man. I assumed that since the sun was bright out in the sky and the contents of my cup were black that I could achieve a decent mirror reflection. I did get that reflection, albeit a little ghostly one. However, what struck me hte most was the black cup on white composition.

Light

Just messing about with the camera and shutter speeds. I like how it worked out with the vertical strips on my shirt and the unusual circular patterns it created. The hands look cool as well.
