Day 59
Anyone who knows me will think something's going on and I'm doing this kind of image. But rest assured that I am doing fine and everything is ok. It's just a sudden burst of inspiration from reading Joe McNally's book this past few days.
The thing is, I love photoshop. You can see from my work that sometimes the love tends to be a bit too much. But after reading the book (the moment it clicks), I suddenly asked myself "can you make the image speak out for itself without putting tons of post processing work into it"? So I went back to my strobist roots and now I'm re-learning how to control light again. And it is difficult and fun at the same time.
I asked Candy to pose for me for this particular image with a verbal waiver that the lights are not really flattering. It's hard gridspot light. Not the usual soft light from a softbox or a shoot thru umbrella so the shadows are really prominent. But the key that I'm trying out here is control. I want the lights to hit only certain areas on the face and hands and fall-out fast.
So, I'd say it worked to a certain degree although I still see a couple of hotspots. Needs practice :)

Acts 13:44-49 (ESV)
"The next Sabbath almost the whole city gathered to hear the word of the Lord. But when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy and began to contradict what was spoken by Paul, reviling him. And Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly, saying, “It was necessary that the word of God be spoken first to you. Since you thrust it aside and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we are turning to the Gentiles. For so the Lord has commanded us, saying,
“‘I have made you a light for the Gentiles,
that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.’”
And when the Gentiles heard this, they began rejoicing and glorifying the word of the Lord, and as many as were appointed to eternal life believed. And the word of the Lord was spreading throughout the whole region.’”

Iv'e been saving this one for quite a while, but today I called in at the Cathedral where this was taken in Wakefield to say a prayer for the thousands made homeless by the tragic earthquake in Haiti.
My heart goes out to all those who have lost loved ones in this tragedy.
Like myself please donate to the many charities that are co-ordinating aid to the people of Haiti.
