Coming out of the shell

Thanks to those who took my survey! I recieved 43 replies :)
Made for some interesting, thoughtful and a bit of fun reading.
I'll link the web page when the case study is ready to go.
And if you'd like to take it still.. ;)

Click here to take a short Online Survey to help Dawn out with her Case Study And yes, it's annoymous!

4 days to Year 1 of PAD, tho.. I was MIA for a couple of summer months..
So here is my SP day and my nod to the Egg/Wineglass PAD'r.

Alternate

Had fun making other egg pictures in the out-takes and posted about 7 more SP's today..
How often do I lather my hair in Gel and Wear white? ONLY for you guys, I'm telling ya!

Here are the originals of the montage..
almost didn't want to make a montage.. but.. wanted to play with my idea..
(originally was going for a full body shot to 'fit' inside of the egg..
True PAD'r.. hanging my camera on the stair case railing.. angleing down..
hit the timer.. go pose.. check, repeat.. put a couple in the SP gallery.
However, I really liked the washed out/high key my 480ex flash gave me in the hallway mirror.

NP Dawn, it was a nice short survey! Nice photo, and wow, only four days to go? Youve done and excellent job and I hope you continue with Pad!

Nice. After all the egg in a 'whatever' shots, I like that you've managed to add something new.

This is quite beautiful Dawn, you've really done a good job with it. Must be an "egghead" huh? LOL! Seriously though, very beautiful and creative work. worthy of matting and framing and hanging on a wall.

A masterpiece. Must have taken you hours. It's a real delight.

Nice, Dawn! I think you've got the high key/Mingay wine and egg look down pat. If only you could find a way to fit in a whisk or a collander or, hell, both! LOL!!!

Guest		02-Apr-2005 06:27
WOW! Like the high key look, Dawn! (of course I do!) And you have the Mingay wine effect! Very fun!

Very cool SP, Dawn. Creative and fun.

the high key, overlaid on a neutral egg shot is very nice! they kind of balance one another. i really like that you wore white, it contributes to that ethereal look!

Dawn, Wow this is a toughie. Both are great! I think you chose the right one. It is the stronger and says not only am I out of my shell I am moving out ah here. So fast we cant even keep up and then you are already almost out of frame. Very cool.
