I’m trying to do something else today, but then I can’t pull it off because the flower keeps on falling down; Then I saw some nice effect with the water, so I just roll with it 🙂 Most of the time, mistakes lead us to something… might not be what we wanted originally, but still cool nevertheless. Gear: Canon 7D + EF 50mm 1.8 + 430exii Settings: f16 | 1/250 | ISO 320 Strobist: 430exii + LumiQuest Softbox III @ […]
Today my concept was movie time 🙂 Another last minute shoot… I didn’t know how this idea came to me but somehow it did. That’s pretty much it for today… Gotta get me some rest now 🙂 Gear: Canon 7D + 50mm f1.8 Settings: f8.0 | 1/200 | ISO 100 Strobist info: 580exii + shoot through umbrella @ 1/16 Trigger: 7D built in Transmitter Post processing: Cropped Adjusted contrast and vibrance Applied a little sharpening on some areas and selected noise […]
Today was the toughest day so far… just nothing coming out. No ideas, no nothing. It’s 1 hour left before day 35 starts… Then this idea kicked in. Saved by the bell 🙂 This is my Tokina 11-16 f2.8 lens, so far this is what I carry everyday with my 7D (and my 50mm f1.8mm). This is the first time I introduced a new element on my photo… smoke 🙂 And no, this is not cigarette smoke, simply because I […]
Today was one of those days again… crunch time 🙂 Scratching my head ’till 10pm until this idea came up, wanted to give credit to my assistant for chirping a few ideas here and there and for holding the water source (the shower) for me. Indeed a great help. Would have been difficult to do this on my own. I have something different on my head but this came out pretty interesting so I guess I’m going with it 😀 […]
This is one of the most useful things in my workflow. It was a gift from my birthday last year… oh man, that’s almost a year now… Grrr! Anyway, moving on… Here is how I took it: Gear: Canon 7D + 50mm 1.8 + 430exii + 580exii Settings: f7.1 | 1/160 | ISO 250 Strobist info: 580exii + umbrella on the left @24mm, 1/32 power 430exii + red gel @105, 1/64 power Triggered by built in Flash Transmitter of Canon […]
Inspiration… This is the reason why I purchased this book. Joe McNally is one of the photographers I really look up to. He’s done it all… in other words, he’s the man! Ok, I guess I have some reading to do over the weekend 🙂 How I took it: Gear: Canon 7D + 50mm 1.8 + 580exii + 430exii Settings: f8.0 | 1/250 | ISO 400 Strobist info: 580exii + umbrella on top left 430exii + red gell zoomed at […]
Setting up the lights was the easiest part on this photo shoot… Arrangement was the hard part! Anyway, I’m quite happy with the result 😀 These are my 3 lenses (out of 4): Tamron 18-270mm VC (left), Sigma 10-20mm (center), Canon EF 100mm f2.8 (right) Strobist Info: 580EXII + shoot through umbrella on the top 430EXII + blue gel on the bottom Triggered by Canon 7D built in wireless flash transmitter Strobes are set to manual mode Gear: Canon 7D […]
