Orange
The blue background is a sheet of white A3 paper backlit by a Vivitar 283 at about 2/3 power with CTB filter shooting through a white brolly. The Orange is lit from camera right by a Vivitar 283 at full power with CTO filter, snooted, and softened slightly with a carrier bag.
That’s more for my reference than yours though.
In pushup news – today is Day 1 of Week 1 – and I managed “10, 10, 8, 6, 10″ with carefully timed 60 second gaps. I could probably have pushed that final 10 a bit further, but I’m being slightly cautious. I don’t want to burn out too early in the first week.
I have to admit that I did the test when you blogged about it (18, not bad for a fat and lazy person) and also did my first “real” set yesterday. Incidentally my series was exactly the same as yours, except that I thought I was going to die after that last 10.
On the plus side, I feel stronger already.
my first set was a paltry 8 so I did my 7 7 5 4 10 this morning. I think I have a low futility threshold. Long before the pain gets unbearable I start to wonder what’s the point. Hopefully this mix of internettyness and peer pressure with overcome that.
