Experimenting with multiple exposures - 1




I've been shooting with my new D600 for a few months now and loving every second I get the opportunity to do so.  Last weekend I finally had the opportunity to experiment a little with multiple exposures; one of the perks to doing work for other artists is the opportunity to be a little more experimental than usual.  The following set is a combination of three exposures of one subject, shot with my Nikkor 50mm f/1.8, ISO 5000, and no flash.  The timing of the exposures was completely manual.  I'm very happy with the results so far.  I hope you enjoy!  

Special thanks to The Redlines!  Please check them out at www.facebook.com/theredlines and try to catch a show; you won't be sorry.

Sometimes...

 Sometimes, I don't know where to begin.  I'm a lot like a kid on a playground; I can't decide whether I want to ride the merry-go-round or the spring ride first.  Oh, but then there are the slides!  Oh, and the swings!  Oh boy!  The swings.  Not just one swing, but the regular swing and the one that's like a seesaw, but way cooler.

That, is a great analogy for my life.  I get so freaking excited about things and there are SO many things to be excited about!  For example, just about anything related to photography :)  Blogs, books, websites, you name it.  And the photos; millions of photos everywhere.  So many little treasures just waiting to be discovered.  Waiting to be created.

My current area of excitement is on the business end of things.  It started with developing fall promotional material and spiraled into a client FAQ, new letterhead, new booking packets, a new workflow, more defined responsibilities, a new website......   Tonight, after watching me work late nights for the better part of two weeks, my husband finally pointed out the fact that I tend to throw myself into things 150%, while most people might take one task at a time instead of five.  I wish he'd mentioned it a little sooner; maybe I'd be less tired :)  Ah, who am I kidding, 150% is nothing.  I'm way too excited about growing our business.
