Fight with Light
1st July, 2010
Sometimes you gotta make do with a lack of willing models, a tight budget for light and existing kit that's getting pretty old. My lightstands and tripod are still finding their way here from England, so today I perched lights on furniture and the corner of the kitchen counter, and GorillaPod'd my camera precariously onto an office chair! And the model? Well, that's me of course.
It's surprising how fun you can make an otherwise boring afternoon, jumping about like a loon in front of your camera, remote in hand. I've never really been comfortable to use myself for anything more than a test of lighting arrangements and scenarios until now, but when the blog updates are getting this infrequent, it's time to work around the issues and get shootin'!

I really like this photo! I love the way it actually looks like your jumping, nice sense of movement :)
