Fun Friday.

Today was laid-back at the office. It was the end of the week, folks were taking off early or leaving on vacation, etc. First order of business was to take some photos of the awards we received at the ADDY's a few weeks ago for our company website. The awards themsleves were some kind of clear lucite with a deep blue bases. I ended up shooting them in natural light on a big sheet of heavy white paper. I thought if I could get a good shot that way I wouldn't have to hassle with setting up the studio lights. Luckily, things worked out on my first try! I took about a dozen shots so our artist would have plenty to choose from. I did have to "help" the focus a bit on the camera as there really wasn't a contrasty area for it to lock onto to focus by itself.

After transferring those pictures to our server, I went back upstairs to get the lights set up for another photo of a guy being used in an ad campaign for one of our clients in the central part of the state. That ad isn't running yet so I'm not posting any of those shots. Actually, *I* am running in the current ad! (LOL) I've got my hand over my mouth and the caption is "You have a voice. At ****, we let you use it."

Speaking of me being in stuff... for those of you local to me, yes, that is me in the airport commercials. If you remember a several weeks ago, we did a video shoot at the airport. The production company ended up using the footage of me so I'm fairly prominent in the first several seconds of the video spot. Too funny. I'll have to make copies of all these things and send them over to the other side of the globe to my parents. They'll get a kick out of it.

I've got a lot of photography scheduled to happen this weekend. Unfortunately, the weather is a bit "iffy". I have 1 outdoor location and 2 indoor/outdoor locations lined up. I hope things work out and everything goes as planned. We'll see.

I'm going to up for a while to catch the first round of qualifying at the Malaysian Grand Prix.
