#52frames_blurtheaction I waited a little less than the last minute for this week's #52Frames challenge. If this pattern continues I not even wait until Sunday to take it! The challenge was to "blur the action" and it was tough. It would probably have been easier to shoot on my DSLR but I'm lazy and didn't feel like digging it out. I also used portrait mode on my phone which I always forget I have and it worked better than trying to use pro mode. Got great depth and a combo of blurred motion and sharp edges This was far from the original plan but I think it's super cute. Thanks to my mom and the bestest doggo, Freya. 🥰 #dmvframers #shotonsamsung #dog #🐶 #petphotography https://www.instagram.com/p/Cndc4oijOfG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

So I decided to try doing #52Frames again this year and even though I managed to take this pic within the time frame (11:40pm lol) I then also managed to forget to upload before time ran out. Oops. In my defense I was eating cheesecake. So then I said screw it, spent a little time editing it in LR and figured I'd still post to IG as my own accountability post. This was taken on my phone, I'm viewing these as creative exercises to get ideas that I could then maybe translate into photoshoots. The first week's theme is always self portrait which I kinda loathe but here we are. The extra challenge was to use an off camera light, I used 2. 💅 Shot on Samsung Ultra 21 Lights are Bower LED light wands Editing was done in Adobe Lightroom mobile #52frames_selfportrait #dmvframers #selfportrait #bisexuallighting https://www.instagram.com/p/CnLvd-ds0A7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Back in October we had a small photoshoot as a thank you to anyone that helped @dccosplayphoto with Awesome Con. It was raining more or less the entire time and sadly I couldn't get the rain to show up on camera for any of shots EXCEPT THIS ONE. And, honestly, I'm still obsessed. 😍 Beautiful & talented cosplayer: @the_engineers_cosplay 📸: @angeladesigns #cosplayphotgraphy #criticalrolecosplay #cosplay #outdoorphotography #naturallightphotography #rainphotography #photography #criticalrole #vexahlia #vexahliacosplay (at Burke, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClhkZqzjDHl/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This was a challenging shoot in July. It was very hot and the lighting was a real struggle. But challenging yourself to do better or work in different conditions than you're used to is what @dccosplayphoto is all about (except for the heat, fuck that noise). This window's natural light with the strong shadows from the room worked perfectly for @impressionistic_cosplay 's beautiful historic garb. (I'm trying the panorama thingy but it does mean I have to crop my landscape oriented photos so I'm not sold on it yet.)

I really love how this photo of Gloria came out. Adding the glow to the lasso was a first for me and while I don't know if the method will always work it looks great here. P.s. look at me actually posting! 😆 Location: Cabell's Mill at Ellanor C.

Actually managed to get some pics of Freya for #nationaldogday. She hates looking at the camera, I think she's worried it'll steal her soul or something. 😒 Thank goodness for motion photos. Our sweet girl is 14, VERY gray, and covered in old lady skin issues but she'll always be our pupper! 🐶 #dogsofinstagram #olddog (at Burke, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChvVHw5paRR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Just got on here for the first time in ... ? ...and I'm immediately annoyed by all of the ads how are so many of you still on here making content?

Super casual Loki was just trying to live her life when the TVA got her. Bummer man! Ready to go for @awesomecons Day 2! Last pic is what I'll actually look like because I enjoy being able to see and don't enjoy getting COVID. I'll be at the @dccosplayphoto booth on and off today and I'll be at @thatshadyhaze LGBTQIA+ panel at 1:30. 💗 Collar made by the talented @samapplecummins #lokicosplay #lokivariant #loki #casualcosplay (at Awesome Con) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeY1sz7LvTV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Prepare for an induced immune response- I mean TROUBLE! And make it double! Got my 2nd COVID booster (Pfizer this time to shake those antibodies up) and my Tdap vaccine at the same time. Since Tdap is actually 3 vaccines in 1, I really got 4 vaccines at once. 🙃 I expect tomorrow will not be a fun time. P.S. If you got my joke you deserve a treat.
