These were the many stages of this pain in the butt picture. It was a last minute assignment and it sounded so cool I just couldn't pass it up. This picture was to illustrate the death of rock and roll, how awesome is that?! So during class I made a plan to have a light behind the tomb stone and a light in front to light the guitar. It was just my luck that the syncs were going bad and didn't want to work for me. So, the first three pictures are  Caroline and I trying to get the flashes to work. In the first one the flash just went off in the front and on the second one it went off on the front and back but the settings weren't right. All the while poor Caroline was lying on this grave holding the flash because the light stand was too tall. And Smith I knew what I was doing when I made my shutter speed 1/13 and didn't have a tripod, well once I got there anyway. While we were there Caroline taught  me that when your shutter speed gets kinda slow you can put it in high speed drive and hold down the shutter while you breathe out and one of the pictures should be in focus. So thats what I did and focus wasn't the problem. After about an hour we said "FORGET THE FLASHES!!" and we used cell phone lights. Innovation at its best. And thus was born the third picture. At this point it was 10:45 and my mother demanded I come home. So I walked away with my faith in editing. When I got to school the next day I started editing the pictures in Lightroom and thus was born the fourth picture. Then I called for back up: Smith. You helped me make it to where it could be put in the paper and not just be  black hole. The I was like "The Belcher gotta go!" So we went into photoshop and cloned over the name, cleaned up the back ground and stretched up the tomb stone. It looked pretty awesome and then I was like "Hey, can we put Rock & Roll on the tomb stone?" and you said yes! so we did so. and thus the sixth and final picture was born!!!
