<\/a><\/p>\nMy second and third images were taken at the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago. \u00a0My favorite exhibit was the jellyfish. \u00a0They are simply fascinating and the way they were lit was absolutely beautiful.<\/p>\n
My fourth image is from our annual Balloon Festival at the evening glow. \u00a0The balloons were so colorful and the ambience of their glow was so neat.<\/p>\n My final two images were ones that I used gels and off camera flash. \u00a0The first one did not turn out how I wanted it to, but I kind of like that it looks like abstract art. \u00a0I lit a stick of incense to get some smoke. \u00a0Then I lit the smoke with a purple gel on the right and a magenta gel on the left (and a little lower). \u00a0As I said, it wasn’t quite the effect I was going for, but it was still kind of cool.<\/p>\n My final image is of my son with his Spiderman costume on. \u00a0I’ve been wanting to get a cool shot of him for a while now, using some very specific lighting, but hadn’t gotten around to it. \u00a0While I had hoped to take the picture outside, I ended up just doing it in our living room. \u00a0I lit him on the right with a red gel and grid, and on the left with a blue gel and grid.<\/p>\n I hope you’ve enjoyed my images! \u00a0Thanks for stopping by!! \u00a0Continue through the blog circle to see our other contributors’ interpretations. \u00a0I know you won’t be disappointed. \u00a0They never cease to amaze me with their talent. \u00a0Also, don’t forget to post your own images with our tags #sharesix and #sharesix_color!<\/p>\n Next up is Kim of Kim Sidwell Photography. \u00a0Head over to her blog<\/a> to see her lovely images!!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I chose this month’s theme. \u00a0Every time it’s my turn to choose a theme I agonize over the decision. \u00a0I really want to choose a theme that will force me to stretch my imagination and help me learn new skills and techniques. \u00a0My plan was to use gels and OFC for all of my images … <\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
