My neighborhood

I'm still working on my "Welcome to My Neighborhood" series. I went up to Moore Square to see who was hanging out. I've been really excited about this project and everyone has been great about getting photo's taken. I am starting to feel alittle guilty, the last guy I photographed (baseball hat) was so out of it. I almost felt I was taking advantage of him. I'm sure this is a moral dilemma most photographers will face at sometime in their careers.

Rex doctors

Some location shots of doctors for Rex. Very small room so everything was low power, softbox,umbrella,grid from the side and a reflector on the background.

broken glass

So after my pouring shots I thought, it'd be cool to get a splash shot. Notice the glass changed ? On my first attempt I hit the edge of the glass with the acrylic ice cube and water went everywhere. I switched glasses, and built a rig so I could slide the ice cube down. This worked much better than throwing it in. I end up using 3 shots for the final image. Shift key and layer mask.
2 grids, color balance was tungsten to give it a blue cast.

pouring water

Some shots pouring water. Used strobes on a white formica sweep, but set my color balance to tungsten to get a blue cast.

cemetery

I was on my way back from Southern Pines and stopped to get gas, this cemetery was across the street.

bowling

took my kids bowling over the weekend, just some snap shots ...

AKC Scanner

Did some product shots with Crittenden Advertising of a pet scanner for the AKC. Ended up suspending the scanners from armature wire, there was to much wrap around on a white background.
