The Pledge
I took a bit of a plunge and did a model shoot with a friend, Mandy, just last weekend.
Mandy’s a kitting blogger (a blogging knitter?) and a new pal of Susie’s—and mine, I’m sure she’ll hasten to add. She had a funky scarf she’d made, and she knew I had this snazzy camera.
She wanted some pics of the scarf, and I wanted to try out shooting a model who wasn’t related or married (i.e. who didn’t have to put up with me). We met at my place, and headed off to Stanley Park to find a copse or a cove.
But we never made it to the park—we kept finding interesting venues between here and there, and ran out of time, and space on my card.
I also tried using my camera’s “digital negative” image format, which turns out to be WAY better than the high-quality JPG setting I was using before. This is very bad news, because this means each image will now take up 3-5 times as much disk space.
Nevertheless, I had a great time, and I’m now looking for another subject to direct my lens upon. If you’d like to spend an hour or two with me, and get a very large number of pictures, a few of which might be quite good, please let me know.
