365 Project Day 13 - Rough Times


As the title implies, we are living through rough times. Getting a job is tough, not to mention keeping a job. As I embark on this project, my desire to make it in the photography world grows more and more. But, at the same time, these days are getting rougher. What to do? Go for your passion or go for the paycheck? I know I'm not the only one thinking about these issues.



Image: Asked a buddy of mine to do a quick pose. Of all the images, I liked this the most. Tried to maintain the focus on him using Gradient Filters in Lightroom. FREE texture from NinianLif.

Manual: Page 52 (Nikon D40 manual) Highlights are the brightest portions of the image. Details may be lost (“washed out”) in areas of highlights that are overexposed. As Scott Kelby would call them, "keep an eye on those blinkies".

Inspiration: Martin Prihoda. Heard about this amazing photographer from the Lightsource podcast. Love his creative use of lighting. Go check his Yoga gallery!!
