Its really the little things in life that make me happy...

I would say that im light-years behind most photographers in photoshop. Last night and today I had a little victory in photoshop. If one were to be watching me, they might question my technique, but who really cares. Its the end product that matters, right?

Thanks to my friend, Maria Petty, I had the pleasure of photographing Kiros, a christian rock band. Along with meeting some cool people and creating friendships, i got some cool photos. At one point in the day, i had some trouble with my strobes slaving. I just worked through it hoping destiny would take over. Come to find out, destiny was somewhere else doing something for someone else. Alas, I had a cool set up, but I wasn't getting the light i wanted. For a few days, i gave up on this particular set of images. Then, last night i had the crazy idea of trying to photoshop what i needed. And... it looks great!


And then, just to challenge myself, i decided to make that rim light colored.


I'm pleased...
