Both shots were taken using two touchlites from the GoodWill, $1.99 on Visa Debit card. The studio space (Safari Explorer's cabin C2 bathroom) cost $0.00, and all the rest of the gear I already own. So that makes me happy. Clamshell lighting (top shot) is a technique that utilizes a top light and an up light on the subject, making a clamshell sort of shape (It would make sense if you were here). Anywho, it was fun, and I played with an HDMI cable I had laying around, and plugged the camera into the 32" LCD that was just installed in the cabin, so that was good too. We popped the breaker again today, after Denee purchased a few more oil heaters to keep the boat from freezing... It's a delicate balance between discomfort and comfort when the boat can only take on so much power at once. Anywho, I have to get back to biology reading, but come back soon, as I hope to be doing more of this blogging business now that the Safari Spirit is on her way down to Baja California.
Cheers,
Danny
P.S. After reviewing this posting, I must make the comment that the 2nd photo (which I've labeled "Crazypants") is the Mr. Hyde that would have popped out of me if the Safari Spirit had not sailed this last past Wednesday.
