Photoshoot with lights outside

Got my monolights. Got the battery pack. Scheduled a session with two models; 1 male, 1 female. Thought it'd be nice to do some couples shots for fall. The young lady didn't show up. I confirmed with her the afternoon before but no luck. Oh well. The young man did, however, show up. We only used a single light as it was overcast much of the morning while we shot. We used the light with the internal baffle in the softbox but without the diffusion panel. I wanted some direct light instead of just a glow. I think these were some of the most artistic shots I've done. I like the style, the composition and the lighting on most of these. Posted 'em for comment or critique and got 1 comment.
Oddly enough, I think that if I just shot some topless or some nudes without any thought whatsoever and posted them I'd get tons of comments.

Well, I'm happy with the work and just thought I'd post it here. You can see the rest at PBase

Large Prints

Just bought a large print from an online printer and it turned out incredible. I had too shallow a depth of field on the shot so one of the subjects has soft focus but overall I'm impressed. The print is 20" x 30" and it looks good. I'm going to have to print a few of these large shots for portraits to showcase some good shots and take to events. Here is a small version of that photo:

Photos and football

Wow. Has it really been 3 weeks since I last updated my blog? Its not like I haven't had little things to say (Go Vols, they beat Georgia).


Went to the UT vs Alabama game this weekend. The Vols won by 4 (17-13). Our offensive line looked WEAK but our defense looked pretty stout. If we continue to play like we did last week then I think Holtz will have South Carolina ready for us next weekend. I think we could be as lackluster on offense and perhaps still beat hated Notre Dame.


Had a photoshoot with a model this weekend. It was an impromptu setup and we actually shot for less than 90 minutes but we got some gems. I was very happy with the results.

Another toy - Sekonic L-358 light meter

Got my new Sekonic L-358 light meter today. Who wants their picture taken?

My buddy, Eric, wanted to see a color photo with the lights so I ran the color version of the photo of my wife through NeatImage and posted it.
