~ Weekend is Here ~

~ WEEKEND ALERT ~

I am a HUGE fan of the weekend. Got my report cards done and looking forward to some rest. Next week is just as busy, parent teacher interview action. FUN FUN!!! Gonna rock a little Call of Duty Modern Warefare 2 this weekend. :)

Here is a Madison edit, done with the homemade ring light.

Yay, the Edmonton Oilers won....I was surprised to be honest. I was watching the game and Colorado was in control. School work called so I had to let it go. Then I came back after work and my friend Sonny told me the Oil came back. Sorry Oil for doubting, but only 2 wins out of the last 12 games does not make for hope.
Work this year has been quite busy and stressful. I am trying to stay afloat. It feels like every day is a rollercoaster ride. I am just hoping to make it to Christmas and hopefully re-charge the batteries before I hit the second semester and off I go again.

Good news about my Dad!!! He is basically done his cancer treatments and will be heading home soon. I hope the doctors will give him great news once all is said and done with the treatments. I have not really been writing much in my blog, mostly because I have been crazy busy. I will try and post more here. I have some work I have been doing but have not been able to post it to the blog. Hopefully I'll be able to get some of it up soon. I have been just posting shots from a shoot I did with Madison recently. It was her birthday yesterday, happy be-lated BDAY Madison.

A few awesome shots of the amazing Madison to enjoy on a Tuesday day.

Madison pulling off a quick look behind pose. She spun really quick a few times and this was a capture from that series of poses.

This picture was taken on a black background with a ton of cat hair. I used layers and a lot of curves and levels to try and get it to hide. The black is uneven but it's the best job I could do. Madison looks awesome and her colourful top really pops out here.

Strobist: There is an Alienbee 400 slightly behind Madison camera right, creating that cool lens flare and backlight. I also shot an AlienBee 800 ringflash with a moon unit as my main light camera right. The hair moving is a small fan aimed from camera left.

I like this picture of Madison, she's just doing whatever and showing a nice candid type shot. Not every portrait needs eye contact directly with the camera. I just think this is a fun and relaxed shot.

Love this texture and Madison's pose here is awesome, just love the energy in this shot:

Playing with texture in this edit....added some layers of other colours on top of the original photo. Madison is easy to take pics of, just a natural beauty.
