Went park-scouting for an upcoming instrument photoshoot with Andrea while snapping some pictures of her.
Went park-scouting for an upcoming instrument photoshoot with Andrea while snapping some pictures of her.
So many pictures to process, so little time.
I was thinking about “die another day” when trying to think of a title for this piece. I am sure I can do better, but not at the time, so it’ll do.
Doing this shoot in the cemetery actually got me hoping to see some “anomaly” when post processing, but so far so good, no scary faces or little girls in white gown in the background. In any case, SK did a great job being the center of the attention, and I hope I captured the essence well during the shoot. As always, this is just a teaser for the rest of the pictures from the shoot, so stay tuned!
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.
