March Goals

I think I met all of my February goals minus the 4th one. For March I want to ramp it up a bit:

• Using my laptop tethered to the camera (in order to immediately see detail) I want to take a bunch of shots using myself as the model. I want to experiment with all 4 light modifiers (umbrella, shoot through umbrella, grid and small lightbox) at different intensities and distances to really understand what the light is doing. I will take notes for future reference.


• Take at least 3 images through post processing. These images should not be of the same genre (i.e. landscape). Focus on understanding what all of the different options are in Photoshop RAW and use them to make a high-quality print.


• Shoot more outdoor portraits with the AlienBee.


• Decide whether to move my home studio upstairs where there's more space.


• Shoot on a particular theme throughout the month (not exclusively though). The theme for March will be "my neighborhood" and I'll try to capture the essense of the ghetto I live in.


• Hang my existing framed prints for inspiration.
