Random Portrait

Random? Yes. I've been going through a backlog of photos that I've sporadically taken over the last few months. Most of my shooting lately has been very spur of the moment and so I typically come out with only one, if any final photos that I'm happy with. This photo was one such instance from our anniversary in which we got dressed up to go out in Prescott. Before we left, I decided to take a few shots of my wife against our room's wall. I used the single light which was over the door to light the image, opting not to use my flash for any fill. Anyways, I hope you enjoy.

Homegrown and homemade

So my camera hasn't been silent. This past couple of weeks my wife and I have been reaping some serious rewards from out first attempt at home gardening and I had my camera handy for capturing our successes. With over 10 tomato plants we have had more tomatoes than we know what to do with. Along with a few pepper plants we had quite a collection the other day. I decided to capture it before it was put to use in a home made tomato soup.

Then, tonight we put to use yet another bundle of tomatoes and peppers. This time into a homemade pizza, which we were happy came out amazing. As with the veggies, I couldn't resist photographing the pizza before it vanished. Needless to say, it was kind of fun turning our kitchen counter into a small studio: setting up my flash, reflector and foam core to evenly light everything. I apologize if you haven't eaten before reading this post, maybe I should have put a warning prior to the photos.
