Ok, this 365 shot is kinda funny. See, I had a busy day and had already scheduled a “guys night”, which basically meant I had some friends coming over to hang out and play some Worms 2 on Xbox while my wife was going to have our friend Audra come over and play New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Well, I still hadn’t taken a 365 shot so when Audra walked in the door I asked her if I could take her picture. Well, she’s such a sweet person that she hesitantly said yes, even though she didn’t feel like she was in “picture taking” form. Perhaps I should learn better ways to approach people about taking their picture instead of hitting them with it right when they walk in the door.
I had her put her jacket on and stand against an accent wall in our house. I set up a 28″ Wescott Apollo Mono Softbox high to camera right, angled down. Then my wife purposely goofed off until we had Audra laughing at her, which gave us this. I think she looks great.
