Merry Christmas!!!

My Christmas Gift to you, the 15 loyal readers i have, its the light portraits i was doing for some of our Players of the year. They're good for a first attempt at the concept but I think I'd do things a little differently.

In the process I broke the red set of rope lights and one string of regular christmas lights. Affixing battery powered LEDs to a football was troublesome and it just sure didn't work at all as we were trying to get a shot of the lights spiraling towards the camera. So instead i just stood behind him and twirled them.

The overall concept ended up as trying to capture a sense of motion and i think it worked.
