Proof I've still got it.
One day I will show this shot to my grandchildren (or more likely my sisters and friends grandchildren) and be all like, "when I was your age look at what I could do... there is just no comparison with you kids these days, so hunchbacked from sitting in front of a computer everyday of your lives you couldn't even touch your toes if you tried"... oh wait, that mostly described me... oops!
I've been thinking about doing something like this ever since the boots photo from last week and quite frankly I love how it turned out :-D
A little admission on the side, I set up the camera and all its settings but had to get my 3rd party assistant (aka mum) to press my shutter remote because well... I can't reliably contort my body into this position in 3 seconds and once in said position I am kind of incapable of doing anything except stand there. So thanks mum.
After my shoot I hung up a black curtain to take some photos mum wanted for her blog and then just as a random experiment decided to take a quick test shot to see how I liked my pose on black. You can see how that turned out in the comments below... damn! I liked it more, only the framing was different (because I really didn't expect to like it so much) and I had accidentally cut off my foot. Too lazy to try again, to adjust the framing and lighting to my satisfaction - and frankly, my back was already starting to feel it, note to self: warm-ups are no longer an optional extra like they were when you were 15 - I decided to stick with the white background for today and re-shoot at some unidentified future point in time.
Sometimes I honestly love what the human body is capable of.
Much love,
D.
