31/365 - Escape:

Really had no idea what to shoot for today’s shot, so just ended up doing a simple self portrait.

Tomorrow, I leave for vacation for over a week so my 365 may not get updated for a while. I plan on taking the photos everyday, but I have no idea if I will have internet or not.

Thanks to everyone who has been following my 365 so far! I’m very happy to have made it this far already!

Strobist:
Bare SB900 directly to the right of the subject. 1/64 power.

30/365 - Don’t Move:

I’m kind of cheating on this one since it is the from the same shoot as yesterdays photo, but I really liked it so here it is.

Strobist:
SB-900 into DIY screen (see comments below), zoomed to 200mm, 1/32 power.

29/365 - Confession:

I had this idea for a while, and tonight as I was setting it up for a self portrait…my beautiful wife (who is pretty shy in front of the camera) volunteered to be my model! Lucky me, as she gave me lots of great shots! I’ll post a few more in the comments.

I actually had to build the screen that the light is going through. It is made from gutter filters from Home Depot. See the setup shot in the comments below.

Hunny, dry those tired eyes.

Trophies.

26/365 - Shoot Pictures, Not People:

My dad just recently gave me this pin that he found in his old camera bag from the 70s, I really liked it so I thought I’d make it a 365 shot.

25/365 - The Perfect Cup:

Following yesterday’s shot of tea leaves, I thought I’d share the tea in it’s final state.

My last white backdrop for a while, I promise.

Strobist:
SB-900 into lastolite diffuser panel, behind subject.

24/365 - Liquid Heaven:

Hi my name is Sean, and I am a tea addict.

There is no question that I love tea and drink several cups every day, so I thought it was only fitting that I do a few shots in my 365 of my preffered beverage of choice.

This tea is one of my favorites, a green tea called Jasmine Dragon Pheonix Pearls from Teavana.

I shot this particular shot so I could use it as a destop wallpaper, so feel free to grab the large size and do the same! Grab an alternate version here if you have 2 monitors: flickr.com/gp/mcgraths/PV8dQ1

Strobist:
SB-900 into ezybox camera left
SB-900 into diffuser panel in the background
Sheet of white paper camera right for fill
Triggered with skyports

She’s gorgeous. I’m lucky.

23/365 - Shadowplay:

This photo is largely inspired by this shot taken by a friend.

I didn’t want to texture this shot, but the wall in this photo was so rough and terrible I had to cover it up some how! ;)

Strobist:
SB-900 far camera left, at 200mm, triggered with skyports

22/365 - The Mixed Tape:

This is my tribute to the once mighty mixed tape.

There is just something about making a mixed tape that you don’t get today with burnt CDs and MP3 players. The amount of work it took in finding the songs, aligning them and planning the tape so that you could get the most music on both sides. Not to mention, the recording was done in REAL time! For those who’ve never made one…it would take a couple hours to plan and make a good mixed tape.

Then there was that first listen once it was finished that made all the hard work totally worth it.

Strobist:
SB-900, bare camera right, zoomed to 200mm, triggered via CLS

21/365 - Jackalope

View On Black

This is my brother inlaw Jack. I had this idea for a funny portrait and knew he was the perfect one to pull it off. Of all the portraits I’ve done I think these are some fo the best at capturing the subject’s personality.

Turns out balancing antlers on your head is next to impossible, so that is why he is up against the wall in 2 of the photos.

Strobist:
Single SB-900 into Ezybox high overhead camera at 1/32 power. Triggered with Skyports.

A summer ago

A few snaps that were 365 contenders from the other day. Taken uptown Saint John.

Amazing cover of a great song.

I thought I’d mix things up a little bit and post an iPhone photo today.I’ve been shooting a lot on 4 different formats lately so I’d like to try and incorporate as much variety as possible.

Those four formats are: Nikon DSLR, iPhone, Medium Format film, and a Fuji Instax

This shot was taken while I was waiting for my wife in the changing rooms, and processed use the ShakeItPhoto iPhone app.

Another scan from my first roll today. This will be my last til the next roll comes in.

I’m not sure why I like this picture so much, just something about it. I can’t really see anyone else liking it, so really this one is just for me.
