Don’t Go Into The Light
How’s this for a movie-poster type shot? I wanted to take a break from shooting on the charcoal grey, and was pressed for time tonight so this is what I came up with. You should click on the photos to go to flickr, and then press “L” on your keyboard to view the pics in a lightbox to get the real dark feel. I originally took these shots:
I liked where I was going with the 2nd one, this ominous door at the end of a very long tunnel kind of thing. I thought that was a neat idea, but then I caught Tay walking by and made her open the doors so I could catch her silhouette. The doors are actually to my laundry machines, it’s not a closet like I hope people interpret it as. So, I had to be careful of how I positioned the camera when taking the shot, because if I didn’t get Tay blocking the right things you see laundry detergent and stuff in there.
I didn’t take a setup shot, it’s just my Canon 580exII inside the doors with a red gel (duh). It was set at 1/4 power @ 24mm with the diffuser down.
Man, it’s hard coming up with ideas for photos every day. Sigh.
See you tomorrow!

Your photos keep getting more and more awesome!! That’s so cool and creepy – totally a horror movie poster. I really like the far away one of just the door, too – makes you wonder what’s lurking behind it! (apparently, killer laundry detergent?)
