I didn't post yesterday, but I took my shot.
Several in fact.
If you keep up with me, you know I sliced the shit out of my finger while trying to make a softbox for my strobes. If you don't know about it, read Day 82's post. Don't drink milk while you're reading, it's liable to come out your nose from laughing.
I did end up getting the softbox built and I tried it out last night.
Let's just say it's not of the highest quality. No surprise there. I got a text message from Image Doctor, Jason Odell, saying I could have used a shoot through umbrella and saved myself getting stitched up by Doug.
Yeah, but Jason, I'm an artist. I gotta suffer for my art. Besides, Doug got some practice stitching and Emily got practice shaking her head at me. Just being around me, they should be experts at both by now.
And they got a few laughs. Apparently, I was sharing my beer with my dogs, Angie and Sera at one point and arguing with my other dog, Tess, because....well...I have no idea why I was arguing with the dog...
Moving on...
I talked the lovely wife, Emily into posing for me. It took awhile, since I don't fully have the hang of flash photography, but I got the shot I wanted.
That's mostly lit with the softbox. Not too bad for some random shit around the house. I bled for that shot.
Then I talked her into doing a bare shoulder shot. Very provocative! (She's hot!) No nudity, but the picture sure makes your mind wander.
She won't let me use that one on the blog. I show that one, THAT'S the shot I'll bleed for.
So, if you want to see it, email me....
