Apple Still Life's - Casey G. Photography

Last time I posted I hoped to keep up with posting and here I am, trying at least. I have been working on my Project52 and continuing with still-lifes. I started with some pretty basic things this month: apples, pineapples and grapes. At first I found it kind of hard balancing the background light and the light on the fruit itself and it gave me some pretty interesting images.

Once I got back into the swing of things I started to play around a little. Putting the lights in different places, moving my camera back and forth, etc. I ended up getting several images that I think are worthy to include in my portfolio or on my website.

Here are some of my favorites:

The last one with the pineapple is the one I'm including in my Project52.


The next few blogs (to hold myself accountable):

This week I have also been working on Casey G. Photography itself; how to register as an actual business, registering my copyright, how to make money with my photography and different marketing techniques.

I've been experimenting with different things, too. I ordered macro filters and I plan on using them the second I get them and I'll post with my results.

My camera bag has slowly been shrinking or I've been getting a lot more equipment, however you want to look at it, so I have decided to get a new one. However, the bag that could hold everything I have and leave some room to expand is about $150. Thats a little bit out of my price range right now. Instead, I bought a purse and I'm going to modify it to be a camera bag. Once I get all my supplies together and start actually putting it together, I'll post about that as well.
