Picture from the weekend - 5

I don't think we have posted a 'picture from the weekend' for about 2 weeks now... not sure where the time is flying to, but here you go for last weekend.

This picture was a bit of a combined effort in the visual department. I had the idea for a dark room and playing with light, and Rob then extended it by using his red lazer light.

With a "1...2.......3!" press the shutter release, (on timer) switch off the lounge lights, grab the torch and jump over everything trying not to kick Rob in the head with my knee on the way past, to getting into position ready to shine the torch once the shutter has opened getting Rob to trace his shape in time before the shutter closes again, and VIOLA!!  producing this image on the other end of the screen... phew!!

We think it was worth all the effort... do you?

Thoughts and comments welcome and hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Week 7: Romance

This weeks theme was Romance... should have all seen it coming after the big V-day that was celebrated on Tuesday, 14th February. The much anticipated day of the year, and even more so on leap years! Guys, hope all your beautiful ladies spoilt you rotten, and perhaps even one or 2 of them popped you the BIG question for a change... ;)

Having said all of that, you would think that this weeks theme would be a relatively easy theme to produce, but on the other hand... not so. (for us anyway)
Yes, with all the heart shaped goodies still about, the love teddy bears and the almost dead and barely alive flowers could have made this a little easier, but again, we were looking for something a little different.

In the end, we did end up using a V-day prop to get these photos, and we threw in a nice little silhouette just to break all the cooey-ness.
We had fun doing these pictures, as its something that hasnt been ventured down before on our side - with much oooh-ing and aaah-ing going on. Although you could say we were playing with the light, which is completely true, the ROMANCE for us in these images is more about the mood and ambiance created than the actual objects and subjects involved.

Week 7 : Romance

Hope you like these emotive romance images... thoughts and comments welcome!
