Project 365 – Day 51

// June 24th, 2012 // No Comments » // Taylor's Posts, Uncategorized

Today we went to happy hour at la Tasca in Clarendon. I have to admit, I was intially pretty ticked off that you could only get happy hour specials at the bar. Fortunately after I made a huge scene Theresa spoke nicely to the manager, we were able to get the good deals outside on the patio too. I guess la Tasca isn’t on my hate list…yet.

Day 50! Yay! At least I did something today. Ben’s friend Suzi is moving to Utah for art school and so a few of us got together at Koi Koi before she left for Mormon country.

Ben is working on editing the music video for Rites of Ash. Their CD release date is July 9th, so you know, no pressure honey.

Not a lot of inspiration today. I tried to take a picture of my night light with a long exposure. Didn’t work so well. Ben also took a picture of this light in his Project 365.

Project 365 – Day 42

// June 17th, 2012 // No Comments » // Uncategorized

Ben has been working on a few projects for the band Rites of Ash. On Thursday we went to Rams Head Live in Baltimore (scary!), Maryland. It was the band’s CD release show and they had us film it for their website. I actually had a pretty good time considering I’m not usually into rock music, and I was completely sober. Ben had me in the back of the bar protecting the stationary camera and also shooting video with the 70-200 f.28. I took a few shots of the band who played before them…I don’t remember their name. These kids looked like they were in high school though. Or maybe we’re just getting old :(

Day 40! Alas, I procrastinated taking a picture and settled for a macro…which turned out pretty noisy because the basement was dark. Oh well. Yay gummy coke bottles!

Today we spent over 5 hours setting up for and filming a music video shoot for the band Rites of Ash. It was a really good experience for me to learn how to shoot video. Will any of my footage me used in the actual video? Eh…I won’t hold my breath. Here was the set up:

PS, the studio was basically a huge garage with a giant white wall. It was, like, 90 degrees in there too. I can see why actors are such divas…I was trying super hard not to whine the whole time :)

Project 365 – Day 29

I had this idea in my head that I wanted to do a replica of da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man. I didn’t really know how to do it but Ben advised me a bit. We just took two different pictures and edited them in Photoshop…something about layers, something, something. I doubt I could do it again. It looks okay, although the shirt material changes as his hand position changes. No shirt would’ve probably been ideal, but you know, whatever. Maybe next time.

We took a walk to Frady Park (AKA “Night Park”) to take some HDR shots. Ben was kind enough to be my model again.
