Week 7 of 52

Originally uploaded by stefandumbleton

Week 7, Romance. Decided to take the Cliché folded book shot for this weeks theme and has to be one of the quickest I’ve taken a shot for this project.

The image was lit using two speedlights, one bouncing of the celing to give a fill light (1/64 power). The second on the window sill pointing at the back of the book and gelled with 1/2 CTO to add warmth to the image. Shot on sunny white balance to enhance the warmth with shutter speed of 1/125, F2.8 and ISO 200.

Refreshments for 3!

The Vision

The weeks theme was body parts. I decided I didn’t want to just take a picture of my hand or foot; there’s nothing special about that. The aim of the 52 week project is to improve my photography.

So what to take…

Had an idea whilst looking online of doing some Photoshop and taking 2 images and then masking out the one image as to leave just the body part. Below is the iPhone prototype.

Had been looking around for something which I thought would look good and then it came to me in the most unusual of places…the bathroom…the new air fresherner had a very modern design, one which I thought would look good.
