light and FORM...it's beginning to look a lot like....

practice makes perfect is told to many, I do not feel I will reach perfection, but I do wish to find a point that I like what I see and the results are just as I envision them when I touch that shutter button.

Four different distinct light sources were employed.  None were very bright, one spot via an LED with snoot, a TD5  with a medium square shaped softbox with just two of five bulbs active and on the back right about four feet up and four feet away, a large mirror just off the right edge of frame and a daylight window on far back right with the glow of an afternoon sun hitting the shade.   Havoc for WB, but I actually had a custom setting that did OK.  I futzed with it though to produce the blue hue, with this one at least.  There are many others with various degrees of exposure and post treatment with different results.

BUT......

I like blue.

So blue you get.....for now.  If any make the final cut for Assignment Two ...who knows for sure.  I have time and many more experiments to plod through.

 

I have had these TWO items for quite some time...they came to me as a pass along from my family;

Aunt Irma was the original owner I believe....

 I got them about 1980 if I remember correctly, one got dropped while moving once, I repaired it but a close scrutiny will reveal an obvious rough and jointed fix area.  

 I treasure them as a a fond ....

Remembrance.....

of those long since passed away.

OH, almost forgot, done in my studio, so this is shoot number two for the young gun, former stand out home theater room, and now the newbie studio, I need a name for the place.   Suggestions welcomed.

And speaking of names, I have a mannequin to name as well.  The model Karla gave me a start with two potential names.  I will post the options along with some key photos of my friend soon, and I ask that you all help me in finding an appropriate name for the young lady.  

Til later.
