Self Portrait (not really) therapy

In the studio taking some self portraits and messing with glitter - and the aftermath as you can see. I'm telling you, it wasn't pretty.

So it was just some "beauty" shots focusing on the red lipstick/ring in the first few and then the eyeliner. It was surprisingly difficult, the auto focus kept missing me and even though the aperture was quite wide - f16 - the dof was small???

oh whatever, learned my lessons for next time, they will be much better.

Some fashion/shoe advertising in the studio. It took 1 hour to set up the lights! The background was white so a lot of the colour I had directed at it, reflected off. That was incredibly annoying, and confusing to figure out. Towards the end though, finally decided to use a "snoot" on the light - which concentrates the light at one certain point - on the shoes but ran out of time (studio can only be booked for 3 hours).

oh! also i used the nikon d200 believing it may have nicer, finer grain than my d60. I didn't notice any difference. I love all the d200's short cuts and what not but it is confusing and verrryy heavy. I wouldn't mind reshooting these and experimenting with a few other colour combinations as well as poses.
