Just really tried to concentrate here on the subtracted volume of the windows - and the shadows. Still looking for a unified style! And maybe I should concentrate less on the shading.
This is T in her fabulous Space Kitten shirt. She wanted pics to commemorate its awesomeness (who could blame her?).
And seriously, doncha just love that necklace?
Lighting test backstory: Last night my friends R and T were kind enough to model for me, so that I could work through some lighting setups I've been meaning to try. (I certainly need the practice!)
I won't have time to process more of the shots until next week, but figured I'd put up one each now to thank them for their work and show them how great they looked. Thanks guys! =)
Strobist: Vivitar 285HV through shoot-through umbrella @ camera left, at completely forgotten power level. Also a Nikon SB-24 low at camera right @ 1/16th, which I should have turned off -- I was using it as a rimlight in the setup we'd just finished. Oops! But what the hey, it added some crazy fun shadows. If I did this again as a planned shot I'd probably use the second flash to try and turn the eggshell-blue background white, for more of a high-key fashion look.
Incorporating exercise into our daily routine is one of the most important things we can do for our physical and mental health. Regular exercise can help us maintain a healthy weight, reduce our risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer, boost our mood and cognitive function, and improve our overall quality of life. But with so many different types of exercise to choose from, it can be overwhelming to figure out where to start. In this article, we will discuss the best exercises for everyone, regardless of fitness level or age.
Walking
Walking is a low-impact form of exercise that can be done almost anywhere and requires no equipment. It is an excellent way to improve cardiovascular health, strengthen bones and muscles, and maintain a healthy weight. Walking can also help reduce stress and anxiety, improve sleep quality, and boost mood and energy levels.

To get the most benefit from walking, aim to walk for at least 30 minutes per day, five days per week. You can break up the time into shorter sessions throughout the day if needed. To increase the intensity of your walks, try walking uphill, walking faster, or wearing a weighted vest.
Strength Training
Strength training, also known as resistance training or weightlifting, is a type of exercise that involves using weights or resistance bands to build strength and muscle mass. Strength training can help improve bone density, increase metabolism, and reduce the risk of injury. It can also improve balance, flexibility, and posture, which can help reduce the risk of falls in older adults.
To get the most benefit from strength training, aim to do exercises that target all major muscle groups, including the legs, back, chest, arms, and core. Start with a weight that allows you to perform 8-12 reps per set and gradually increase the weight as you get stronger. Aim to do strength training exercises two to three times per week, with at least one day of rest between workouts.
Yoga
Yoga is a type of exercise that involves a series of poses and breathing exercises designed to improve flexibility, strength, balance, and relaxation. Yoga has been shown to reduce stress and anxiety, improve sleep quality, and lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels. It can also help reduce pain and inflammation in people with conditions such as arthritis and back pain.
To get the most benefit from yoga, find a class or video that is appropriate for your fitness level and goals. There are many different styles of yoga, so experiment to find one that suits you. Aim to do yoga at least two to three times per week, with each session lasting 45-60 minutes.
Swimming
Swimming is a low-impact form of exercise that is particularly beneficial for people with joint pain or injuries. It is an excellent way to improve cardiovascular health, strengthen muscles, and improve flexibility and range of motion. Swimming can also help reduce stress and improve mood.
To get the most benefit from swimming, aim to swim for at least 30 minutes per session, three to five times per week. You can mix up your swim routine by incorporating different strokes or using equipment such as kickboards or pull buoys.
Cycling
Cycling is an excellent form of exercise for improving cardiovascular health, building leg strength, and burning calories. It can be done indoors on a stationary bike or outdoors on a road or mountain bike. Cycling is also a low-impact form of exercise that is easier on the joints than running.
To get the most benefit from cycling, aim to ride for at least 30 minutes per session, three to five times per week. You can adjust the resistance on a stationary bike or vary the terrain on an outdoor ride to increase the intensity of your workout.
