I say through Boo’s eye’s because there will be a “through Tim’s Eye’s” when he has the time to sort through them and tell me which one’s he wants up here. I added just one of his. Obviously, the photo of me. That look is the look of recognition…and the wheel’s turning in my head as I think “Can I reach out and stop that flash/umbrella from falling in the wind in time?” (For the record…yes I can!)

These aren’t perfect that’s for sure. But the thing about using lighting in your photography is that it’s much much harder than it looks or sounds. We have three separate instructional kind of DVD’s from the master’s in this field. We’ve watched them once or twice and they make it look so easy. They get their lights set up, turn on their camera’s. Choose their settings and BAM…great photo.

It’s one thing to read about it. See it. Watch it being done. But it’s another to do it yourself. Much like telling a chef how his meal could have been better when you’ve never even boiled an egg.

And the same photo again in sepia, I don’t know which I like best!
