sorry for missing class tuesday, i have been sick as hell sitting at home eating nothing but yogurt the past 4 days. anyways, this is a draft of where i am heading. i finally contacted doug and was able to get into the studio the other day (while i was sick). so these are original high resolution shots i took with a Nikon D40. i know alot of basic stuff when it comes to photography. but i havent really had an opportunity to play with an SLR camera until the other day. i really wish i wasn't sick when i did and wish i had a little bit more time in the studio to play around with the settings some more. 

as for layout/composition. one thing about photography used in an ad is being careful with how type is placed because of how much detail photographs can contain. i have seen alot of ads using photography where the text is hard to read, and i definately want to avoid that. in this case, there is definately alot of detail on the walls inside the facility. so i will definately have to work some to set some contrast off of that. what is cool about the studio is how rough looking it is from teh outside and how rough all the walls are, then there is this sharp out of place looking greenscreen setup breaking all that up. as well as all the metallic equipment placed up against all the walls. has a nice look. 

here are a couple more original shots. i took about 50 so im not going to upload all of them.....

i LOVE how the camera picks up the green from the greenscreen section of the studio. any picture i take with the ceiling or any metallic object in it has a nice green tone to it. 

than in another picture is a canvas i painted for doug a while ago. he hasn't been able to mount if up until recently so i finally came in to get a picture of it. but it sucks cuz i painted it so long ago that i dont like it anymore. oh well. there are a few other painting projects i have in store for the spot.
