Helen and me decided to have some portrait fun.
Nothing special, just a family room, a backdrop, one PW-controlled light, 50mm "fantastic plastic" and an air-soft gun.
For the record: as an L-gun, it does have a bright red tip, but a little PS goes a long way:-).

Below are few excerpts from the shoot.

    I'll second Sid's opinion:first and last are it.

    I really do not understand people's obsession with guns - most can only do 7 shots in a row while my camera can do few hundred. (Sorry, could not help myself with a little photo humour.)

    Thanks, appreciate the feedback! thumb.gif

    Guns are fun!
    And even funnier is that one of my girls seem to inherit my feelings towards them, while the other (just like her mom:-) ignores them completely... headscratch.gif:): rolleyes1.gif

    Now you know! thumb.gif

    It's always cool when you see things at a different angle. On my last trip to Mexico, the marketing guru challenged me to take "close-ups" but wouldn't give details. I had no idea what to do but after a few days, I fell in love with a new style and found myself constantly looking at everything from a completely different angle.

    I see the force is with you
    Loved the last one especially. All are wonderful. You must have studied PS with Yoda. The midiclorians are high in your eye for THE shot. Nice!

    Thank you, mylord :-)) :):

    I was simply granted with a nice model and a decent hardware, that's all :-) The rest is purely technique :-):D
