31/365 - Escape:

Really had no idea what to shoot for today’s shot, so just ended up doing a simple self portrait.

Tomorrow, I leave for vacation for over a week so my 365 may not get updated for a while. I plan on taking the photos everyday, but I have no idea if I will have internet or not. 

Thanks to everyone who has been following my 365 so far! I’m very happy to have made it this far already!

Strobist:
Bare SB900 directly to the right of the subject. 1/64 power.

I’m kind of cheating on this one since it is the from the same shoot as yesterdays photo, but I really liked it so here it is.

29/365 - Confession:

I had this idea for a while, and tonight as I was setting it up for a self portrait…my beautiful wife (who is pretty shy in front of the camera) volunteered to be my model! Lucky me, as she gave me lots of great shots! I’ll post a few more in the comments.

I actually had to build the screen that the light is going through. It is made from gutter filters from Home Depot. See the setup shot in the comments below.

26/365 - Shoot Pictures, Not People:

My dad just recently gave me this pin that he found in his old camera bag from the 70s, I really liked it so I thought I’d make it a 365 shot.

25/365 - The Perfect Cup:

Following yesterday’s shot of tea leaves, I thought I’d share the tea in it’s final state.

My last white backdrop for a while, I promise.

24/365 - Liquid Heaven:

Hi my name is Sean, and I am a tea addict.

There is no question that I love tea and drink several cups every day, so I thought it was only fitting that I do a few shots in my 365 of my preffered beverage of choice.

This tea is one of my favorites, a green tea called Jasmine Dragon Pheonix Pearls from Teavana. 

I shot this particular shot so I could use it as a destop wallpaper, so feel free to grab the large size and do the same! Grab an alternate version here if you have 2 monitors: flickr.com/gp/mcgraths/PV8dQ1

Strobist:
SB-900 into ezybox camera left
SB-900 into diffuser panel in the background
Sheet of white paper camera right for fill
Triggered with skyports
