Did a 3-hour shoot with ninja, which was a long time, but I also spent approximately an hour learning to use flash to produce more dramatic lighting than simply lighting up the room. That didn’t go too well, so I eventually just say screw it and switch to high ISO and wide open to use the natural lighting.
So much better.
Sure, the noise level is higher than I like, but getting the image I like is more important than anything else. Like many photographers say, you can get the most advanced glass / SLR money can buy, but if you cannot capture the image with it at the right place and at the right time, it’s all worthless.
In all, the actual shooting time was about 2 hours, still quite long, but that just means I got plenty of great pictures of ninja. Long day for everyone, but I think it was all worth it.

Went on a shoot that lasted about 2 hours with NS, had a great time, and got lots of pictures that I cannot wait to upload, except I need to find time to actually go through them, along with many pictures from previous shoots that I haven’t post processed yet.
Aside from pictures, I am apparently also slacking off on keeping the blog updated. Oops.

So what’s the first thing you notice about this image? Why, the distortion of course!
Stitched image of 7-8 pictures shot with my wide-angle glass, and here’s the result using PS stitching: image distortion. Downside of the wide-angle? Probably, but I left it this way just because it’s very funny. The freaking Space needle got a big head!
Yeah, normally when doing pano it’s a better idea to stick with a less distorted zoom, but whatever, it was fun nonetheless.

I am liking silhouette shots these past couple shoots. I really went all out for it.
What can I say, they are cool.

Wide-angles are cool, but like everything else, it’s easy to overuse. But in a way, isn’t regular, >= 50mm range also highly used in many images? Or it’s an exception because they are the “standard”?
I don’t think it matters. In the end, what we photographers are after are arts. And through whatever equipment and methods we go about achieving our objectives, are totally up to us. Overuse or not, well, that’s just personal opinions.
