Today’s image is a bouquet of flowers I sent to my wife yesterday for our seven year anniversary. I sent her a bouquet of roses (her favorite) and Star Burst Lilies. She loved it and it was a huge surprise for her since I tell her I will never send her flowers and it has been about 5 years since the last time I did. I like to keep her on her toes. The image was shot on a white seamless background. this past weekend I watched Zack Arias’s lighting class on CreativeLive. The class was amazing! I learned so much and he is a really great teacher, but more importantly a really great guy. I highly recommend the CreativeLive classes and especially Zack’s work.

Today we have Kayden! He is who I was practicing for yesterday. The shot turned out pretty similar to the practice shot yesterday with the cabbage patch kid. He was pretty stubborn about going to sleep, but I think we got some cute shots anyway. The shot was lit with two Alien Bees 800 with large softboxes at 45 degrees on camera right and left, with the right one turned down just a bit compared to the left.

Today I read page 74 in the 5D Mark II manual, File Numbering Methods.
