Back to Photography

In the first week since I decided to stop working evenings on the blog, I’ve enjoyed what amounts to a great vacation since I actually get to sleep at night. I’m happy, the family is happy, so all is good. Now that I have a little “me time”, I’m looking forward to editing some photos again.

Here’s a photo that was part of my Nikon D610 review. I enjoyed working with this model so much that I pulled out my 1D X when I was done with my “work” and shot with my personal gear.

This was lit using my lighting setup with the Elinchrom 39" Rotalux Deep OctaBox to the left and 27x27 Softbox to the right. The background was lit with my Quadra S lights.

Processing was basic Photoshop touchups with Portraiture for skin and Color Efex for the final punch on the shot.

It was fun to go back to just doing what I love most with photography.

I’m working on a plan to do a weekly article of items on my to do list here in the future.
