Wine Bottle and Glass (Part II)

The lighting for this photo was a lot of fun to construct but I am growing tired and unable properly explain the lighting setup. I will circle back around with an explanation after getting some rest. Stay tuned . . .

They're Outside

It has been a while since I last posted a photo that did not, in some form or fashion, include the light of at least one small strobe. For this shot I used only the ambient light coming through the windows and wanted to experiment with the concept of zooming the lens during the exposure. I started the exposure with the lens at 18mm and zoomed for the duration of the 1/3 second shutter speed creating the illusion of light beaming through the windows.

Truth be continued - tons of sunshine in my life. Super duper wicked excited that I quit my job and am going out on my own. Super duper wicked scared that I quit my job and am going out on my own. Stay tuned - it will only get more interesting . . .

NRA Jam - 03/01

Today was a very, very cool day out at NRA. We organized a shoot with bunch of photographers and a bunch of riders and it was a blast. I wanted to try something different because I am so automatically drawn to photograph jumps that I don't have many other kinds of MTB photos (like this one).

Strobist Info:
One Vivitar 285 camera right high aiming down fired full power.
One Vivitar 285 camera left low fired full power.
