A Truly "Legit" Snowboarding Day

Being in the snowboard industry allows me the opportunity to test the product! This weekend my cousin Lisa and I took a day at the mountain to try out some gear for Winter 09.10. We had some fun with my trusty old Polaroid as well...

Ok, I know it's been a really long time since I've blogged... I have been not only too busy to blog, but too busy to shoot anything worth posting. I finally got the chance after Christmas to play with some new Christmas presents. My dad got me some super old lights that were my grandma's back in the day. They are like a combo of the two images below:

The lights look like that of the first photo, and there are four aligned on a bar like the second photo. They are very bright, and very hot. They also made a really cool vignetted lighting effect.

I got together with my friends Monica and Reina and we threw together some fun outfits and make-up and started shooting. The lights being so bright allowed us to use high shutter speeds and make some cool actions shots. My favorite is the one of Monica jumping.

We were shooting in Monica's basement, so when editing the photos, I played around with some color replacement to make the backdrop more fun.

I doubt I will get a good chance for another shoot this month, but hopefully February will be more accommodating.
