After watching Susan Stripling's course on CreativeLive, I decided to try and see if I could create some ring shots inspired by her awesomeness. These were lit with an Ice Light

Some selfies at the bar just before opening. Thanks to CreativeLive and JoeyL for a great tutorial. I still need a little refinement, but these are my first attempts with the new techniques.
I have been learning Adobe Illustrator recently on CreativeLive online class which is REALLY great. Today I tried a free app called Adobe Draw on my iPad. I've never drawn by fingers, and still don't know well how to use, but it was fun!! I want to learn more!
Watching the Mark Wallace "Speedlights 101" workshop on CreativeLIVE (cr8.lv/speedlights), and eating leftover caprese salad.
I'm also supposed to clean this desk off for Christina while she is out of town. I guess it does need it. :P
Many teach. Some mentor.

Got the christmas tree and boxes of decorations out of the shed today, the kids were most excited! The adults are included in the kids category as well. I was hoping I could hold out until December 1 before posting a Christmas shot, but I couldn't help it. I grabbing a bud lighting Christmas tree, hung it off a light stand, one strobe and done. Some minor cleanup of light spill in PS, but I like the shots that the post is quick and easy.
When I see a santa hat now, I am reminded of a photo I love of our kids with their Santa hats when we spent Christmas outside the sub tropics last year. Check the hats in a blog post last year, scroll down to where you see the sleds.
Big week coming up. Off to Adelaide for a couple of days, which be hopefully fruitful, and my last travel for this calendar year. Wednesday we are getting our old kitchen ripped out and a new cabinetry put in, and the kids finish school for the year on Wednesday and Thursday. Sue has to work until next Wednesday then she is clear until late January, which means 3/4 of our family will be chilled out over the holiday period :-)
I was also lucky enough to come across a fantastic project called Help Portrait, via the founder is presenting on CreativeLIVE in a couple of weeks, and his course looked good to purchase. After doing some research it looked like a fantastic cause, with a presence in my town, Brisbane. I contact one of the organisers, Mark, whose has some fantastic photo's that I have seen and had recently started following on flickr (he was present in the photo Ryan Schude / Laura Lemon after party shot recently). I said I was late to the party but would love to help, not as a photog, as I am not there yet, but help out in other ways. Well I get a nod, and I will be a photo assistant on the day, and I am stoked to be involved.
I never got to finish an assignment as part of the 2010 Strobist Bootcamp in giving back, so I am glad I can belatedly do so.
I certainly love this time of year!

Had a lovely shoot with a local model named Statia. If you have never worked with a model before, let me tell you, it will spoil a photographer! :)
This was a "test shot" as we had just moved locations and I was still getting my lighting dialed in. The light was a little hot on her but it kind of works with the funny expression she pulled out.
Let me tell you that Zack Arias class on CreativeLIVE last weekend really helped me out during this shoot. We were moving around a lot and we started with the sun setting, so I was having to adjust lights very often. Having such a clear understanding of my stops and how they relate to aperture, ISO and light power really helped make for a lot less chimping and a lot more shooting! :)
lighting info: sb-900 on lightstand firing into 45" reflective umbrella to camera left. Not sure what the power setting was but it was about a half stop over exposed from what I wanted. Light was triggered via yongnuo trigger.
My son, Adam's, drum teacher asked me to do some portrait work for him. He instructs students in the drums but also composes music, transcribes for symphonies, and various other musical work as well. I was not sure I was going to be able to give him what he was looking for. He wanted formal shots, negative space backgrounds, and didn't have a location in mind.
After reading a blog post on DPS's website and watching part of the CreativeLive's webcast for "Lighten Up and Shoot", I practiced ligthting for a bit yesterday and learned how to use my flash and adjust aperture to create a black background. this picture was taken in a well lit gymnasium with a wall and other various "distractions" in the background. Using light in the way I did, you cannot tell what is in the background in this shot.
My husband gave me a light stand for Christmas last year and this is the first time I've used it for a photoshoot. I called him and thanked him profusely for knowing ahead of time that it was something I would use. It came in very handy and hopefully I'll get even better at using off camera flash and learn how to light my subject even better.

Flash off camera mounted on light stand, flash elevated above subject, aimed downwards to light from above. Shot in large gymnasium with fairly bright lights and cluttered background that is virtually eliminated by using flash close to subject and small aperture.
Wandering thoughts of happiness.
It is said that if one folds a thousand paper cranes you get to make a wish.
Well then I still have 975 paper cranes to fold...
I recently fell in love with the American initiative called 'CreativeLive'. I've followed a couple of courses there. Most recent was Modern Women's Portraiture featuring Emily Soto and Lara Jade. I was totally inspired by the first one. Doing her analogue thing over there and sharing editing secrets. A couple of techniques I wanted to try out myself and did so in this particular image. The flares were done using her technique and I really like the dreamy effect it has.

Creative Live is hosting another workshop. This time it's Zack Arias again with

This is a picture of a TV showing Zack reflecting in another TV showing a photo slideshow. Huh? What?
Not sure what I was thinking for round 40, but I volunteered for two separate pushes. Definitely a push I recommend to others!
This particular push came from my push partner Bart from Amsterdam (D_Snapper - see www.flickr.com/people/d_snapper/). After discussing our respective 100 stranger projects (another great push), he settled on the following push:
-------------------------------------
"I have had a look at some of your pun-work (enjoyed it a lot) but would like you to shoot on a more serous commercial project:
- CD cover
- Book sleeve
- Advertisement
Including type for the title and so on.
You can select and reproduce an existing one or make up your own. Enjoy!"
-------------------------------------
How great! Bart must have had insider information about me wanting to do this type of push for over a year! I had bunches of stock photos I could have used, but decided to make it a *true* push that it should be a new photo taken for the push.
Well, this past week we had the town's Holiday Parade. When the float with these young ladies paused in front of us while playing "Jingle Bells." Yes, the image just fell into my lap. The fonts and graphics (to look like a CD case) came as the next challenge. Fortunately I have played around some the blending modes after taking a few free PS classes on Creative Live (Creativelive.com).
Bart, I had a lot of fun putting this together. Hope this meets with your expectations for this push!
As always, thanks for your views, comments and faves! And hope your Holiday season (yes, Christmas) is blessed and joyous!
Yes, it is important to be able to shoot product.
Someone should do a workshop on this stuff...

Danielle Krysa has a BFA in Visual Arts, and a post-grad in graphic design. She is the writer/curator behind the contemporary art site, The Jealous Curator (est.2009). Danielle has curated shows from Washington DC to Los Angeles, San Francisco to Toronto. In 2014 she published two books, titled “Creative Block” and “Collage”. Her third book, “Your Inner Critic Is A Big Jerk” was released in October 2016, and she is currently working a new book due out Fall 2018. Danielle has also had the great pleasure of speaking at TEDx, PIXAR, Creative Mornings, CreativeLive, and was interviewed for several video segments on oprah.com.
The Jealous Curator launched in February 2009, as a place for me to show artwork that “made me jealous”. Yes, I was jealous of other artists’ work, their lives, their success, their studios. I felt like I’d never have any of that – and I was right – because I wasn’t making art! I was stuck, and so busy comparing myself to everyone else that I didn’t even allow myself to be creative. It was awful. I started the blog to document the work I loved, but more importantly, I wanted to find a way to flip the jealousy into something positive – admiration and inspiration to be specific. It worked! Within the first few months of writing posts I started to get excited about finding great work. I also learned that there are so many kinds of art out there – some that appealed to me, some that didn’t – which meant there must also a place for my art. I just had to start making it, and I did. What a relief.

The world has truly become a smaller place!
Watching Penny De Los Santos teach a food photography workshop in Seattle, from the comfort of my home in Goa (India).
For the creativeLive group pool contest with Zach and Jody! A quiet moment caught candidly after the ceremony... I wish I knew then what I know now about lighting. But it's been my most popular one in my portfolio because of the tendernes of the moment :)

My first photoshoot after stydying Creativelive's "Sue Bryce Collection." Hair and Make-up by Bethany Dornberger of Hair by Bethany.
2011 - Day 165. June 14, 2011.
I quickly hit the brakes as soon as I saw this scene at the side of the road in front of the auto wrecker's. What a great idea! It stops people from just dropping stuff off on the roadside.
I knew this would be a perfect candidate to try out some of the texturing techniques I learned in last weekend's creativeLIVE course with Doug Landreth. I took lots of shots of the outside of the barrel to use as my texture layer. I spent so long there a worried-looking employee came out to see if there was a problem. I tried to explain that I was making art out of their junk ;-)
After I layered the texture and photo and played with blending modes and layer masking in Photoshop, I went back to Lightroom to add split toning effects to give a bit of an 'old photo' look to the piece. I think you'll agree this is definitely outside my norm, but I'm close to being happy with the way it turned out. The area I know I still need to work on is getting the intensity of the background texture right, so it looks like an integral part of 'the story' and not an add-on. I may soften up this texture later if I have time and re-post it.
