Speak, See, Hear no Evil

Speak See Hear no Evil, originally uploaded by Capa12.

We had another get together last night with
Aaron to do a photo shoot. This was pretty much all his idea. We took three different pictures of each other and photoshopped them together into one image. So each of us is effectively in each image; either in the form of hands, mouth and chest, or eyes. As usual, Sarah had the best image... seen here in center.

Joei @ Bain Water Treatment Plant

Yesterday Sarah and I joined in with some of our Raleigh flickr friends for a day of photography at the Bain Water Treatment Plant. From what we could tell it hasn't been in use since ~1998 and has since become very run down, but full of character and a great place for photographers. We had a blast and were worn out by the end of it all. It is a huge facility with tons of photographic opportunity waiting to happen. This shot is of Joei Reed on the main staircase. Thanks to everyone who made this possible!

Sarah...

Sarah... my love, originally uploaded by LShadrack.

I had an urge to try some creative lighting outdoors after seeing Martin Prihoda's work. I drug Sarah out to one of the fields next to Jordan Lake and shot away. I actually wanted to get the sunset but saw this grass and couldn't resist. Check out more here.

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.
