Just some random macro shots on my cheap camera.

Out with Dave and some girls who wanted some pictures done with them in their Advent Children FF7 costumes.

Took these on Friday.

33 photo HDR Panorama's are a little too time intensive for me.





This one isn't HDR but was 3 levels of photos. (Do the colors look funky to anyone else?)

I find the dress being so dark is distracting. Not to mention women spend a TON of time and money on finding the PERFECT dress, so having it shadowed out in photos might take away from the effect in the eyes of a lot of brides.

The poses are pretty though, just the little lighting issue for me.

that's a great point! Thanks Melinda!

Pretty spontaneous shoot today.
Local DJ Whitney Eleven Knight.

She had an awesome collection of stuff around her loft that we used to build the scene for this shot.

This first shot took a lot of experimenting to get the look right.
I've never had a chance to use any lighting set up besides my SB-600 so this was a pretty big challenge.
Bowens Gemini in large soft box on camera left. Bowens Gemini in snoot behind the devider angled down for some accent light on her chair and hair.
I wish we would have had one more light, to possibly add some fill on the right side..but my friend only had two lights.






and one of my buddy jeff.

i used a 580exii set at 1/128 power, pointed at ceiling. (was not meant to expose anything), this triggered a morris mini slave flash on the side set to its "high" setting (simple thick paper GOBO used to block light from appearing on the backdrop), it was positioned off camera bottom left behind the incense stick. light was pointed up and towards the camera.

then switched the camera to M, max shutter sync with the morris slave flash was at 1/160th, room darkened, television screen used as a backdrop, and an F number that allowed for a decent exposure, and was high enough to allow for a lil fudge factor when it came to focusing.

definitely need a new tele lens, initially tried to do this with my tamron 70-300mm lens had big IQ problems on my 5D over the 50mm prime i later used. sigh, the price of moving up to full frame .

It looks so vintage. I like it!

Film or PS?

Also, is it possible for people to not quote images? It gets distracting to see the same set of images twice.

Or is that just me?

Your guy's photos look insane. Any tips to help me improve would be appreciated.

Thanks DJ. I appreciate the feedback. PS dial was set to "high" on that one.

Not really a fan of cats but that shot is pretty sweet!

Everyone is constantly improving while I'm doing the opposite.

Fuck.
