Great time this weekend. Got to shoot my favorite band.
Family Shoot last week
I’m not normally known as a ‘people’ photographer, but was lucky to be asked to shoot a friend’s family last weekend before his daughter goes off to college. Shot with a 7D, Sigma 17-70 and 10-20 lenses, 580 Speedlight in manual in a remote activated 18 x 18 softbox. It was a great time (for me anyway) and I’m hoping they like them as much as I do…
This is art…
Here are a couple from a car show in July. I love the lines on these old prices of art. Now everything looks the same… These were shot in RAW, processed with Lightroom 4 with Topaz BW Effects plugin and adjusted transparency to allow just a hint of original color to bleed through.
Fun Friday
Made it to my 3rd update this week. Goal reached…
Thought I’d have some fun with this one. These were all 4th of July fireworks shots that I tried a different shooting style. Usually, you can shoot fireworks fairly easy with a tripod, lowest ISO, Bulb mode, and f8 or so. I’ve seen people zoom when shooting, and that gives a different effect also. These were actually focus change in the shots. I started out as far out of focus as I could, when the flash started, quickly manually focus back to where it should be… There are some gotchas and I’ll try to play more next year. The first is you want a wide aperture, or you won’t get them out of focus enough. These were mostly all on a zoom set at 50 mm shot at f5. Next year, I need some ND filters on my 50 prime so I can start out at f2 to really expand them. Of course, that will make bringing them back into focus manually a little tougher, but we’ll see what happens then. I have a year to decide…
