Hopefully having a place of my own to post it will keep me inspired to try new things and go further than I would otherwise.<br /><br />Hopefully there will be some of all that I do eventually posted on here, so you will see some photos, drawings, sketches (both CG and traditional), paintings, and whatever else I seem to be inspired to create on occasion.<br /><br />That's about all, but I'll start off with one of my more recent pictures that I've taken.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mYJ1YK5PWWo/RY0kXjJLCBI/AAAAAAAAAAM/g5CKc4Iie-o/s1600-h/Smoke.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mYJ1YK5PWWo/RY0kXjJLCBI/AAAAAAAAAAM/g5CKc4Iie-o/s320/Smoke.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5011701947322533906" border="0" /></a><br />Taken at home in a rather impromptu studio setup, lighting was provided by one 500 watt worklight, and the black background was Ally holding up a piece of black fabric. The subject is a stick of incense, in case you were wondering. The image was not quite what I wanted, but having to illuminate the smoke without the light illuminating the background without a set of barndoors was a little difficult ... ^^;<br />Still, turned out rather well, except for the slightly out of focus stick of incense, but at least the smoke is clear.<br />The only post-work done was a little bit of a burn to remove a bit of flare that was present on the left side of the image, since the light was facing almost directly towards the lens to keep it off the background. <br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Technical</span><br />Camera: Pentax *ist DL2<br />Lens: Sigma 28-105mm at ~105mm<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6439152472099704485-2294699652167552163?l=tantas-art.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Althianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06358561086749539351noreply@blogger.com1
