Week 2: Night Portraits

One week down, 51 more to go! Get excited, people!!! Project 52 has proved a fun adventure for us thus far, and challenges us as photographers. I love tapping into my creative side and throwing a camera into the mix. The polls have closed for Week 1 and the votes are in! Results were 47 total votes: 43 for the Houston Skyline and 4 for 3 Wise Monkeys. It was a bit of a landslide, but we like seeing the results of what people like. I know most of you assumed I took the monkey shot--being the monkey lover I am, but Conor took that one. Surprise!!! If you're inclined to tell us why, or what you like/disklike about our photos, please add a comment at the bottom of the blog entry for the corresponding photos. Feedback and constructive criticism is another way we grow.

With all that said, I am pleased to announce Week 2: Night Portraits. This past week we decided to play with off-camera flash and see what kind of dramatic lighting we could get in the downtown Houston areas. We are just beginning and learning this lighting and having a blast with it! (Again, any comments or feedback on this style would be much appreciated--just add your comments at the end of this entry.) Vote now for the Couple or Chester! You have until Friday at midnight--pass along to anyone you know! Lets try to break 100 votes this week! : )

I vote for the couple. Chester is just a bit too cheesy for me. ;) I really like the lighting on both, though. :) One of the reasons that I did not vote for the monkeys was because of all of the shadowing. It made it difficult to see detail.

Anyways, I am SO EXCITED that you guys are doing this!! I LOVE looking at people's blogs and seeing what they are up to. It gives me more ideas to spice up my boring life. ;)

I also voted for the couple because I just love the light around their faces. It is a great picture. This is fun!

I like Dayna with Chester. I voted for it because it wasn't the traditional back drop for a photo. Something different and fun.

I love the 2nd one, it is fun, creative, and something that just makes me like it more, maybe it's because I LOVE Cheetos, lol
