Michigan Trip: Rosie Warner

A few weeks ago, my boyfriend and I went up to Michigan to see my family. My sister, Sarah, just got a new puppy. She’s a brown lab, and completely adorable. Sarah asked me to take some pictures… I didn’t have any equipment with me, so I just used my canon 30D and the stock lens. They still turned out pretty cute. It goes to show that you don’t need a whole lot of fancy equipment to get some good pictures. Though, I did need to exercise a bit more patience, as the puppy was running wild all over the place and I had to be very close to it with my 18-55 lens. I probably looked like quite the goon chasing this puppy around my parent’s yard!

 I saved the best for last! I love this picture Rita took of Jason and I! It turned out very pretty.

These are 10×20 collages that were made using Photoshop. I’m glad I learned how to do it… Could come in handy with scrapbooking!

Editorial Assignment #5 -Food- Rosie Warner

Here are some brownies I made at home! I used an Alien Bee light, with an umbrella attachment. I tried using a reflector, but decided that I liked the heavier contrast. I also ate a few too many of them…

One Light… Portrait Assignment #3- Rosie Warner

This assignment was done with one light. I used one flash, with a soft box attachment, and a gray background. I later took them into photoshop and airbrushed them a bit and then brought them into lightroom to add a vignette. My model needed some good pics for her fiance, so I hope they like these! Here’s what we got!

Editorial #4- Health and Fitness Assignment- Rosie Warner

Kelly, at Tony’s Fitness Center, was kind enough to help me with this assignment. I used an alien bee flash and I took a Lumedyne flash with me for some outside shots. For post processing, I took out the yellow from the ambient light in the room and tweeked the saturation levels, all in Lightroom. Here’s some of what I shot.
