Yes that's right, the old kitchen table trick. I also used a reflector camera left on some of the shots. The fabric taped up is super cheap lining used to, well, line things. I bought it at the fabric store.
It's the goal of every photographer to do as much "in camera" as possible such as cropping, exposure, lighting etc. The more you do in camera the less time you spend in photoshop which means the faster you can produce your image. However many times, even after the extra in-camera-effort, the photo still needs a little love in photoshop to make it just right.
Caps - Schlafly No. 15Time for another Caps entry. This time I'm keeping it local with my favorite brewery of all time: Schlafly. This No. 15 brew is the tool I use to get people in the door and it even got Sarah to start trying (and now liking) beer.

I really hate bragging and/or boasting but I have to mention the fact that Sarah and I just got done relaunching our business website. It's been hard working until 3am every morning but I'm glad we finally got it done.
Who doesn't love Schlafly?Alright I've been made fun of recently for my love of Schlafly but seriously, who doesn't love it? If you have not tried Schlafly beer, please read the following list to make sure that your reason is an acceptable one.

More gear! I'm trying to build up a nice studio. In order to do that I had to snag some lighting and a few other goodies. I'm way over budget so now it's time to make some funds.
Schlafly - Series of 10I'm forcing myself to start a new series. I'm going to try my hardest to do this once a week. Pick 1 object or 1 theme and in one brief session come up with 10 images. I thought hey, why not start with my favorite beverage? Schlafly!
Yep, that's right. Sarah is learning to shoot! We snagged the Canon Rebel XTi and she's working her way through the same book that taught me how to shoot; Understanding Exposure
After being on hiatus for so long it's time for me to regurgitate all of my linking goodness. First up, a very important part of my photography diet is StudioLighting.net.
I got some new gear. After my 300d died I was out of commission for what seemed like an eternity. I bought a canon 30d and I'm back in the photo game! It's amazing how fast you lose momentum when your gear goes whack.
The following is a tutorial on how to create an extension tube / reverse mount for a standard 18-55mm lens using common plumbing supplies found at your local hardware store.
Time for a ghetto tutorial. Using a CD jewel case we'll make a nice gel light.
