This past weekend I drove the wagon down to see some friends from turbobricks in the Richmond VA area. Had a great time and watched some friends consume copious amounts of Highlife. Why they would bother with such a subpar beverage is beyond me. However, it made for some nice photo ops. There were lots of DSLR’s there, so I was able go full out photo nerd for most of the day; I was even able to play with some new gear. Thanks Todd.

So I finally broke down and purchased a 9’x36′ roll of seamless white paper to practice on. I built some light flags out of some pieces of plywood I had laying around and hung the paper from the ceiling of my garage. After rolling the paper out, I laid 2 4×8 sheets of tile board for Brian to stand on. I got this tip from Zach Arias’ white seamless tutorial he did on his blog months ago. I shot a lot of photos due to the fact that Brian wanted to do some animations, however I’ll just post a couple. I learned a lot during this shoot, and realized I need a new lens that doesn’t suck on Seamless, since all of mine do. I also realized I need at least 1 other alienbees strobe to light the background, the speed lights just don’t have enough juice. So if anyone wants to buy me another Alien Bees B800, hit me up! At anyrate, I look forward to shooting some more seamless white.

Easter Proofs

I was able to shoot my sisters family on Easter Sunday, which turned out to be quite the challenge due to kids being hopped on candy and less than ideal scenery. I tried to keep the angles low and utilize the falling sun to my advantage. Overall, I’m fairly pleased with the results.
