(3/52) Aging

They say aging brings character. Some days I still don’t believe the two digits associated with my age and what that is suppose to mean in my life. Sometimes I feel like finishing high school wasn’t so long ago. These thoughts are the inspiration for this photo.

I kept this apple around purely for this weeks idea. This apple remained uneaten and started to get wrinkly. I figured I would hide it so Meng-Ling wouldn’t accidentally throw it out so I can use it for this week’s photo. I used one flash and a small mirror to get this shot. Plus a card as a mini reflector. :)

For a behind the scene photo:

Since the first 52 photos, I have always enjoyed trying new things with a flash and trying to create a different look with light. It is definitely handy for the days where I need to create an idea indoors and don’t have a lot of daylight to play with.

(2/52) Building

I have been struggling to get my camera out since by the time I get home from work, it is pitch black out. I decided to go and learn some of the functions of my camera. Canon 5d mk iii has in body multiexposure mode. This way you can take two photos and layer them. I decided to play with a flash to get a silhouette and then use a background picture that is more colourful. I built the background use the side of a lego box. I have mixed feelings about how this turned out but I like how this allows you do cool images straight out of the camera without photoshop!
