WOW, this weeks challenge was TOUGH! Not only was the assignment difficult for me, finding the time/location to make it happen was also tough. Right now, I should be sleeping so I can work tonight. However, my mind decided I didn't need sleep and I've been up for a while. I'm one of those types of people who are pretty much up/awake when they wake up. How about you?
Back to the challenge! This week we learned how to paint in our photographs with LIGHT. It was really, really neat when it was correct. When it wasn't, the images looked terrible!
I ended up throwing a black backdrop up in my spare bathroom and shooting this from the bathtub! I know, whatever works, right? It was about noon when I shot these, so no WAY would this work outside! I will be playing around with this at a Senior shoot I'm doing next weekend, weather permitting. We had to cancel one already.
Here are a few of my accomplishments, starting with my favorite and working my way down to one that I wasn't 100% happy with, but wanted to share anyway.
As always, thanks for checking out my blog!!!
Nikon D3100 - 18-55mm lens set at 18mm
f/5, 15 seconds, ISO 100
I wish I had done something different with my black drop on this one, but I think it was my best overall image. I wish I'd flattened it out, but then again it gives it some depth and texture maybe? Oh well!

I really like the little star burst type effect going on in the upper left hand corner here. I didn't get that with any of my other images.....the more I look at it, this one might be my favorite, it is really growing on me!

I really wanted this bottom shot to work out better. The light I had was a bit too big I think, and I had a hard time getting the writing to come out correctly. But, I think must people will get what I was trying to write.
Happy Shooting Everyone!!
