Self-Portrait Day 23|365

GageThompson-1-5

Today, was my mothers half marathon in St. George, she ran 13.1 miles. That would be 13 miles more than I could run or want to run. After her marathon we went to the movie “Its Complicated” and let me just tell you…it was. It was a drama comedy and it had its good parts, all and all it was a pretty good show. When we were done with the movie we decided to head up, above St. George and check out the view. The red rocks in southern Utah are awesome, I love them. So I figured I would do my self-portrait on the red rocks, and of course I had to wear my vacation shirt.

Self-Portrait Day 22|365

Finally an escape from work and the cold. My family and I are heading down to souther Utah to St. George for a half marathon my mother is running in. So were be there from today the 22nd to Monday the 25th. Her run is tomorrow but we figured we would make a mini vacation out of the whole thing. This photo was taken when we were driving through St. George. I used a slower shutter speed to streak the lights on the street and give a feeling of movement. As for the lighting I knew for sure I didn’t want it on camera but I still wanted to contain it to inside the moving car. So I decided to bounce it off a silver reflector right in front of me, I also used a snoot on the flash so I didn’t spill light everywhere. I chose this one out of them all because I really like the warm tones in the background.

Trigger woman: Judy Thompson

Strobist: One SB800 with snoot on camera angled toward silver reflector in front of me.
