  Finishing up my rather boring lightbox attempts.  I’d like to sell some stock photography, so I really need to work on these techniques a little more.  Although I need to work on not taking them late at night in order to have a little more creativity.

  The storage box I am using as a lightbox was still out, and so I tried to shoot the cherries after I went to the grocery store.

  I was just playing with the lightbox again.  I want to try these again with some different lighting sometime- reflective surfaces are difficult to shoot when one is trying to come up with a pieced-together zero-cost studio.

  Instead of league play, the store had a tournament.  It had a huge turnout- it had set up space for 24 players, and 36 showed up.  The tournament was set up in age categories; E1 and E2 played in the junior league, which was basically 11 and under.  They played in all 4 rounds since it was […]

  I had been reading about different lighting techniques online, and found an idea for a cheap lightbox using a translucent storage box.  I grabbed the closest object, which happened to be E4’s wooden rattle, and did some experimenting.  It worked pretty well, but I will need to do some tweaking.

  E4 is now doing the traditional hands and knees crawl.  She is so pleased with herself.  Probably that’s from all the other kids saying excitedly, “Mom, she’s crawling!”

  E3 was saying her hair was hot, so K fixed her hair for her.  She was having a lot of fun modeling it.

  E4 was much happier crawling around in just a diaper.
