hehe
while i was printing the landscape pics from my roadtrip at the lab today [Moab Kokopelli Photo Satin paper is the ****!], i took this goofing around in the studio. at first i captured the motion on accident but didn't like the facial expression. so i tried another 5-7 times to get it again with success.

used a softbox at 45° standing just behind the camera along with the flourecent overhead lights.
1/4 sec, f/8, ISO50. this was a stop or so up from a normal exposure.

interesting?

No logo, and remember, no matter how hard you flap your arms, you just aren't going to get off the ground, which probably explains the 2nd pic? :lol:

I like the logo, and really like the direction you are moving in these pics.


Awesome.

i'll get rid of the logo. hehe i was actually trying to get my hands on my hips and my arms at my side at the same time :] so i'd start with them on my hips and quickly drop them to my side when the shutter went. and yes, i couldn't fly so i got pissed off then decided to try and capture some angry facial dtail.

The flames on your shirt goes with your expression.

Why loose the logo???
The shirt logo adds so much to the shot. It's a great image, but without the logo, it's just a good one...

By all means KEEP THE LOGO!!!!

I looked and saw some but I didn't see the one he had. I think it turned out pretty good if you look at "An Old Ford" in thw Critique Corner Forum.

There's one for 4X5 film. Modify it as needed.

They're cool. I think the logo adds to what must be a blazin personality!
