    Ninja Woman

    Here I am once again fooling around with light and it’s effects on a subject.  I set up a plastic head which I use for practice shots and a rubber glove.  I wanted just the hand and eyes illuminated.  It’s not as easy as you might think.  Anyways this is the end result.

    Bokeh and the coffee cup

    This was simply my attempt at creating “bokeh” through the use of small lights.  The right shutter speed and aperture is fairly critical. Although not necessarily a riveting picture I did accomplish what I wanted to. FYI, for those who don’t know, “bokeh” is basically the way the lens renders out of focus lights.
