Days 13 and 14

Sorry it's been so long since I put any of my 30 day challenge photos up.  The truth is that I've been so busy doing shoots, editing, blogging and tons of other stuff for the business that I haven't done much personal shooting.  Here are days 13 and 14, though.  Hey, at least it's something.

Day 13:  Yourself with 13 Things
The 13th of this month was my birthday!  And, well, "Happy Birthday" is spelled with 13 letters.  Here I am with 13 Happy Birthday candles.  :)  Given that I just took this picture tonight, I'm enjoying a birthday cake about 2-3 weeks late and the family will be devouring it tomorrow at our weekly Sunday lunch.  While I'm not thrilled with the outcome of this photo, I did practice quite a few new skills.  I shot this using manual mode, a tripod, a flash bracket with external flash, and a remote.  I intentionally set the focus low so that I would be slightly out of focus and the candles would be in focus.  


Day 14:  Eyes

Obviously, edited beyond recognition...and that's the point.  I wanted this to look hand-drawn.
