Touchy-Feely Friday

Saturday, October 11, 2008

Man this week flew by. I can’t believe it’s Friday night already. Unfortunately, I’m not finishing very strong here… I have just one touchy-feely picture. I’d like to thank everyone who joined me for this challenging photo week. Be sure to check out all the other days of photo week (links to everyone else in each post)
Monday – Sight
Tuesday – Taste
Wednesday – Sound
Thursday – Smell

This is the newlyweds at their rehearsal. I feel like you can tell a lot about a couple by the way they hold each other… I personally melt when hubby grabs my hand at just the right moment, just when I need it most.

Be sure to check out the other Friday pictures:

Thanks again to everyone who participated. I hope you had as much fun as I did! Now it’s time for me to pass on the Photo Week hosting duties. I’m sending it back to the Midwest – to Sue. I’m looking forward to what she comes up with for a theme. And until then, keep your camera in hand and eye on your surroundings!

This is such a great idea… and for those who are considering purchasing a DSLR, this will prove to be very helpful too!

I’m in! I have a Canon Rebel. At one point in time, I’d read most of the manual concurrently with a digital photography book. (yeah, I’m nerdy like that) I found it only helps to know where to change the setting if you know the affect will be on your photo. I can’t wait to brush up and learn some new tricks!! Great idea!

This is a great topic! The flash is so frustrating. Do you want people to share about equipment and hacks that have to do with the flash? I have found that various ways of diffusing/bouncing the flash has the biggest impact on my photos.

As far as your food photos go, have you considered constructing a light box out of white foam core and a couple clip lights? It would allow you to take your photos even at night but still feel bright and cheery! Just an idea. 🙂

Amy – feel free to post about whatever you want. The point is to share what you’ve learned about how to make the flash work for you. I’d love to hear what you do when you use your flash.

I have considered a light box. I had one on my Xmas list 🙂 I’m just worried about storing it in our tiny condo. For now, I just wait for daylight but I would like a light box in the future.

Totally understanding the lightbox storage concerns. I’m thinking that I’m going to get some white foam core from the store today and play with making one that breaks down easily into a flat stack. I’ll post my experiment. 🙂

Yea Steph said she was going to make on today. This is the one I had on my Xmas list. I still might get it since it folds up.

Ok, I made a collapsible version of the light box today with your situation in mind. 🙂 Can’t beat that nylon one you’re looking at, but for $6 this one does a pretty good job! Thanks for the challenge! Here’s the light box.

Thanks for the heads up, Jen! This is JUST the kind of help I’ve been looking for when it comes to taking pictures. Great idea for Foto Friday! I’m really excited. 🙂
