NY Super Fudge CHUNK!

NY Super Fudge CHUNK!, originally uploaded by LShadrack.

Oh the joys! Chocolate is one of life's great pleasures, especially in the form of ice cream. This shot is from a shoot done with our friend Aaron. This is the type of shoot I have no problem doing... I mean really, Sarah hanging over my shoulder feeding me chocolate... emmmm.

WE had four lights set up. Two behind us out of frame, one ring flash on camera and one to the side shooting towards the ceiling to provide a hair light. I I think it came out awesome and we couldn't have done it without Aaron!

Sarah and I called up a friend, Aaron, we recently met at the last Triangle Strobist meet-up and ened up spending our entire night shooting Reese's and donuts. We had a blast and came up with some fun images. Aaron had many more ideas but we just didn't have time... so... to be continued...

Old Trains

, originally uploaded by LShadrack.

Krista, Sarah, and I went out yesterday to take some pictures. Sarah had been wanting to take some pictures of some decommissioned trains in Raleigh, so we went down to do a shoot.

This shot was taken through the fuel oil filler hole in the side of the train car. I knew it was a good picture as soon as I looked in the camera. I love the angle. And, as you can tell... I had fun with the post processing too!

365

Day 7, originally uploaded by LShadrack.

Sarah and I started a 365 this month. We will be taking a picture of ourselves together every day for a year. When we have to be apart from one another we will take a picture of ourselves and put them together later. Who knows what kind of ideas we will come up with.... this should be interesting!

This one is day 7. It was inspired by Joe McNally's photograph of Steve Martin.

Jackson!

We got to keep Jackson for the weekend and decided to see if we could get some nice "pet portraits" out of him. Krista and Gill, went to Tennessee and dropped him of with us. Good thing we had some leftover chicken!!!! And speaking of chicken... Jackson is just that. He was scared to death of the camera, lights and umbrella, but with the power of leftovers we were able to distract him.
