Penning Photography Daily

Another from the last day of the photography workshop.

Kevin is a very talented person. Kind of an understatement. A renaissance man of talents. He shared on the use of Adobe InDesign as a tool for creating photographic picture books for weddings and other events.

I’m on overload with my brain stuffed with ideas and possibilities after three days of this workshop gathering of Midwest area photographers. Met a great bunch of people who are willing to share their talents, experiences and opportunities. A great spirit of friendship and commitment to quality customer service.

I’m thinking a bit more out of the box of normalcy now, and hope to bring some of that to my images here and elsewhere shortly.

FYI – Taken again with my 50mm 1.4 prime lens. This has no noise reduction on it, just some brightening levels. Otherwise, straight from the camera.

Cool technique.

Dark room, cooperative model who does not move, flashlight snooted with

black craft paper, f22, 20 seconds, ISO 100. Start shutter, turn light on,

and paint the light onto the model.

This is one of the few times I’ve spent time in a ladie’s restroom! We

used the retro couch in the vestibule of the restroom. This was one of

several I took this afternoon at a photography workshop in Indianapolis. No

processing, straight from the camera. No Internet from our hotel .

More when I get a better connection!
