I sure hope I get to photograph more cars in future. I enjoyed that photo shoot quite a lot.

carstoryboard-1

This is my first storyboard (made within Lightroom). It’s a 10 x 20 and will be finished with a linen texture and mounted on 2mm styrene for stability and ease of framing. Unfortunately, because the photo journal background is also white, it’s not as easy to envision where the edges are — it’s much more impressive when seen as a ‘whole’ rather than blending in with the background. I’ve been teaching myself all kinds of different techniques and am pleased with my first storyboard. Next on my learning slate is creating holiday greeting cards. Hang on Martha, there’s no stopping me now!

Perhaps the next storyboard will have a colour background so you can really get the entire effect when viewed on your screen. I’ve recently changed my pricing and, rather than offer a reduced price for prints ordered within 15 days of the proofs going online, clients will now receive a complimentary 10×20 storyboard when they place an order within 7 days of their proofs going online — I may carry this promotion over into 2010.  I have an extremely busy day ahead, 3 orders to place, a delivery to make, trip to town to get my hair cut, dogs to walk … you get the picture! Happy days everyone.

  1. These shots are great, too! So fun. And what a cool idea with the storyboard. Of course, I don’t have Lightroom but I like the concept. It’s exciting to learn new techniques…time for me to learn something new, I think.

  2. Diane, I have an award for you on my site. You don’t have to pass it on, I just wanted you to know how much I enjoy your work!

  3. Love the car pics 🙂 And your storyboard looks great!!

    I took my new camera out for a spin today. Now when I take pictures, I always have your blog and photography advice in my head — I try to look at things differently and/or take shots from unusual angles to add interest. I still have to download the pics to my computer, but I think I might have a few good ones in the batch 🙂

    Thanks for your comment on my back to school post. I know it takes a lot of patience for you to post comments on our Blogger blog, so it’s doubly appreciated!! 🙂
