WARNING: "RANT BELOW"
So last night was the good old bring in the new year festivities. When I got home I planned on hitting the sack and getting some shut eye, seems my body had other ideas possibly because of this extremely windy & cold weather here in NJ with temps below zero instead of me being in sunny Florida basking in the sun and the titanium screws in my spine decided to act like they owned the playing field and incited a riot. In plain English, I'm in a lot of pain and couldn't sleep LOL. Not a big deal as I live with this every day of my life and no need to worry but I had to do something to keep my mind busy so off I went into PS Land to play ball.

Unfortunately I could not concentrate which in turn makes an artist get a major case of creative block the size of Manhattan so this is all I could come up with for my introduction to 2009. I sat in my still life studio shooting all kinds of things and nothing seemed to work, it was crazy really. More like aggravating to say the least, everything I shot went in the trash bin and I mean EVERYTHING! I know you have all had days like this and it's never easy to swallow no matter what the reason. Well I'm sorry for ranting so much but I just had to get that off my chest and I figure what are friends for right?

This shot of my female cat Zena was taken on the dining room table, right next to the napkin holder. So a little crop was in order LOL. Then I played around with some ideas and this was the result. Sorry it couldn't be more but I'm just glad I was able to put SOMETHING together for today's POD. I've learned to deal with adversity and know that Tomorrow will be a better day without a doubt. I'll end this by saying "REACH FOR THE STARS BABY" !

I hope you all had a fun evening bringing in the new year and everyone arrived back home safe & sound.

Bill Pador > "Those Eyes"
details best seen @ size X3
While walking through my kids TV room last night I noticed a great beam of natural sunlight coming through the front window as the sun was going down and then saw my daughter Alexa's eyes catching the light as well. So I made her get off the couch (I know I'm a terrible Dad LOL) and had her stare out of the window. I should have went to get my 50mm Nikkor or 90mm Tamron for this Portrait to get a sharper image but I was lazy and stuck with the 18-200 VR that was on the body but I think it did a fine job, impressed me really. When seen as large as possible you can see each individual eye lash reflected on her retina, pretty cool!

I then hit this with my normal Portraiture work flow & slight glamour treatment, removed a bunch of small hairs in between the nose, shaped her brows and did some very minor burning to bring out her cheek bone a little bit and that's it. The shadow is all natural just using proper exposure settings and shooting tight to prevent any of the background in the room from showing. Alexa's eyes are usually a nice blue but she was wearing a purple shirt which turns them a wild greenish aqua blue seen here. She's my favorite model and loves to have her photo taken so we both make out on the deal whenever I want to do a portrait to keep my skills sharp ;) I like this one so much I'll be ordering it in a large format lustre print or possibly a canvas to hang on my office wall! ~I just love my kids ~
Hope you all like it, Have a Great Day everyone !

Bill Pador > This cool looking fly was giving off a PRISM Effect in the direct sunlight while buzzing around some bushes and I managed to get a captures where I got some great Bokeh on the back of the wings and get his eyes in focus. You never see a bug this close up with your eyes and see things much different through a 1:1 Macro lens that's for sure. Their kinda gross but interesting on the other hand.
