Cartoon Fun

I watch a lot of different photography educations on the web. For example, one from Kelbyone was doing action figures with a background. When I watch these episodes, I list things that I want to do sometime. This was one of them that I wanted to do.

Stress Doll

I had this stress doll sitting on my shelf and decided to use my model. So I set up the doll using my living room and went with two lights. One is my key light to light him, and the second is with a blue gel to give a hint of blue in the shadow. The picture was taken, now the background. This I went on a stock photo site, and I knew I wanted a city. I found this nighttime picture of a town, and that was my composite.

This was a found project; in fact, I bought a toy for myself. I want to do this again. Maybe a beach photo with a toy. Not sure yet, but thinking about what I want to do with it. Now onto the next “I always wanted to do it shot”

Aviation Photography

For many years, I have been going to EAA in Oshkosh, WI. Facts, my love for planes started back when I was working on the ambulance. Yes, you heard it right. You see, we're the crew for the flight line, and I learned a lot about planes and the pilots threw their story's from their wives. This brings me to today. Once again, I went to EAA, this time as a photographer.

While this was not my first time taking pictures of these incredible machines, it was my first time after many hours of practicing new technics.

I also wanted to be creative when it came to aviation. Yes, get the shot everyone likes to see. But also get the image that many people did not think of, like the wheels of a 747.

One thing over the years that have not change is my love for planes and aviation. At the airports, some people like looking at people. I look at planes after planes taking off. I have been to many museums not just once but return many times. With all of this, I decided that I want to make Aviation part of my photography portfolio. I enjoy aviation. If I had to make my career over again, I would like to be a pilot. While I am getting older, I will do the next best. Document Aviation. Next show Cleveland.
