Waterways (lucky landscapes)

by AFS on Mar.31, 2009, under cameras, lighting & technique

Flying back to NY from Palm Beach last night, we got some pretty and moody views of the landscape. Of course my airplane window was filthy, and looked like it had several leyers of Saran Wrap sandwiched in between the plexiglass – causing all kinds of glare, flare, color smear, low contrast, you name it. Plus the old 50mm 1.8 I was using contributed plendy of flare on it’s own. (I actually keep this lens because I really like the flare it produces when pointed at the sun and other bright things.)

(for the most part post-processing included only contrast and exposure adjustments. All images were shot with the Canon 5D Mark II and the old Canon 50mm 1.8 Series I lens)

First lighting workshop (not really)

by AFS on Mar.16, 2009, under lighting workshops

***date update***
So I have been shooting a lot in the studio in the mean time, but this particular shoot, we are waiting for the clothing, which is apparently with the designer in Paris. The most likely weekend now seems to be April 18+19. As soon as the designer has firmed the dates, we will go forward with the horses shoot. Sorry about the delay…re:
===============
Does anyone want to come along on a photo shoot in upstate ny? The location is around 90 miles North of NYC, accessible by car or bus from manhattan. We will be shooting with horses, two models, etc. Should be nice and muddy by then due to the snow melt ;-)
In any case, this is not a workshop like I’ve been promising - it will be a real editorial/magazine shoot and a great opportunity to check out what’s involved in an outdoor, daylight fashion shoot. There is no fee, and it will probably be some combination of helping out/assisting and observing.
 
As yet, the date is not firm. I will likely be this coming weekend(!) March 21or 22, or it will be the the weekend of April 4&5. Those who are intersted, please register and I will get back to you as soon as I have more information.
 
p.s. the last time I shot for this magazine, it looked like this
 
Cheers,
