Week 49 - Spring 2012

I resisted taking a week of "Spring flowers" photos.  Only 1 this week. Flowers are popping up everywhere it seems, and Spring has arrived in full force, except I haven't heard of Striped Bass being caught on the Vineyard yet!

Two favorite photos this week for me.  The money shot, and the train.  If you haven't listened to Bruce Springsteen's "Land of Hopes and Dreams" song yet, you should.  A beautiful song, and I tried to capture the mood with this photo.

Here's this week's 7.  3 weeks remaining!

Another eclectic set of photos this week, 4 of which were taken in the light box.  I couldn't resist taking a picture of my early birthday present for today's photo!

Week 47 - I Got a Lightbox

I think I took some interesting photos this week.  I recently purchased a light box with the goal of taking quality "product shots" without shadows.  Still learning, and the products I am taking pictures of are wine and fishing lures.  It's a pretty interesting setup:  a 2'x2' white flexible cube, and I focus some powerful photography lights into the box (through the sides).  The cube diffuses the light, it bounces around within the cube, giving good lighting and no shadows.

Here's this week's 7 photos.  I'm personally loving day #328.  I knew when I took it, that it would be the day photo.
