...I'm still doing the photo-a-day challenge. It became too much to post the exact same thing on my Facebook and here - a little too much busy work. So, the photo-a-day continues on my Facebook page. Feel free to stop by, check it out, and heck... feel free to add me! In the meantime, keep stopping by this blog to watch for specials. Summer is coming. With it, the deals may follow... =]

Photo-a-Day Challenge; Day 27

posted in portraits on 09 May, 2010 by Dan Harvell.

This is Peaches, our new edition to our house. She is a 7-week-old calico. Onyx, our Black Lab, doesn't quite know what to make of Peaches, but has definitely taken a kind curiosity to her. Peaches, on the other hand, hisses every time Onyx comes around. I'm sure that will smooth out over time!

Photo-a-Day Challenge; Day 26

Yeah, I know... this is a day late. The reason it is a day late is because I was busy actually taking the photos, yesterday. Didn't get home in time to process and post them. But, now that I have processed this photo, I had to post it. This is my Niece, before her 2010 prom. I can't believe she'll be a senior, next year. Time FLIES!

Photo-a-Day Challenge; Day 25

Here is a shot of my wife in some butterfly eye-makeup. The lighting is a set up called Rembrandt Lighting, as it is similar to how Rembrandt "lit" his subjects. This is a simple setup - a reflected key light on one side with a light illuminating the background, behind the head, giving the subject separation from the background. The background light is optional, but is my preference. The Rembrandt technique could also be used with a narrow key light, which would cast more dramatic shadow.

Photo-a-Day Challenge; Day 24

"Beautifully Back-Lit (24/365)" Today's photo-a-day entry and lighting lesson is in back lighting. In this case, the back light is not partnered with a front fill. Instead, the back lighting is used to give the backdrop its flare, while giving the subject a softly outlined silhouette. This silhouette look gives the photo a sense of mystery.
