I can’t believe it but Wolverine won Chris’ Picture-a-Day Challenge at DSLRBlog! It’s a great honor for a great Pez. Unfortunately, since learning the news, Wolverine has become totally tempremental! He’s making demands, wanting his own trailer, refuses to wear anything but Versace, and will not save the world without consulting with his agent. Superheros, hrumph!
I took this shot as part of the 30 Day Photo Challenge we started here at DP Blogs. I wanted a photographic kick in the pants, and immersion therapy was just the ticket. The challenge caught on, and people from all over are snapping pictures each day (everybody’s doing it…). I shot my Wolverine Pez in front of my fireplace during the day with my Nikon D70s digital camera. I wanted a contrast in color temperatures, so I opened the curtains to let the bluish daylight give him a side light. It’s almost a Rembrandt light! It took probably 25 shots to get this one due to changes in the fire behind and experiments with exposure.

Congratulations to Wolverine and thanks to Chris at DSLRBlog!
