Day 11: She's Got The Look

11/365 - July 10, 2009

I love Margaret's new(-ish) haircut. It's nice and summery. Her bangs are incredibly cute and frame her face really well. It just looks great on her.

I also love the look she gave me for this shot. I went though 40 takes trying to get the right framing, lighting, and expression, and everything finally came together on the final one.

One thing I'm noticing with my LX3 is that the LCD screen isn't very accurate in terms of displaying my lighting. What looks blown out and contrasty on the camera looks perfectly fine in Lightroom. I guess I need to learn to trust the on-camera histogram some more.

Shooting info:
Panasonic LX3 | f/7.1 | 1/60 | ISO 100
Nikon SB-600 in a Lumiquest Softbox III handheld just out of frame at camera left.

Day 10: Late Night Tacos at Midnight Doritos

10/365 - July 9, 2009

Late Night Tacos at Midnight Doritos are absolutely evil. They taste like Taco Bell tacos and are sooooo tasty. I know they're horrible for me, but I can't stop eating them. They're like crack. I blame Montine for getting me hooked on these.

Shooting info:
Panasonic LX3 | f/2.8 | 1/1000 | ISO 80
Nikon SB-600 in a Lumiquest Softbox III handheld above and slightly to camera left.

This is just a lighting test, but I really like it for some reason.
