Okay, one of these is a huge fucking Moth but it’s okay, because she’s here to save us from Gojirra. The other is Caroline, also quite good, but may not have very tiny Asian women chanting her name.
I’m only 30 minutes from Ottawa and I’m on Monster Island. Crazy, it must be that the Francophone’s sell booze in convenience stores or something…
Another attempt at using Nik’s Silver Efex Pro – did this one on a very slow walk-around shoot with Urban Nation. I didn’t even know old cameras NEEDED batteries.
I wasn’t going to post more photos of flowers – but this one was just too good! Possible kitten photos to follow (though unlikely).
Saturday I had a great photoshoot with The Adopted on top of a roof in downtown Ottawa in advance of their new video. I had a few extra strobes with me this time learning from our last photo-shoot that two flashes on E-TTL ain’t enough. Though three is still kinda pushing it – I think I was able to get some decent results: there are more here if you want to have a look.
Things I would have done differently? More light – twice as much. which would also mean twice as many PW’s (first time I used the miniTT1 transmitter too and yes, the 430ex will DESTROY your RS so I’m looking to sell that now if anyone’s interested) and twice as many batteries (maybe twice as many CP-E4 battery packs too)… this is all just to POWER, and TRIGGER, my lights. I’m not even talking light-shaping of which I did none of. For lack of sandbags on the rooftop I forewent any softboxes or umbrella’s that could catch the wind. I probably would have had a hard time with them anyways given the spread of the group.
Definitely a great learning experience, a reason to add to my wish-list, and a good time all-around with a good group of guys. Hopefully they’ll still let me do it again 😉
No artificial blurring here – this baby is all natural bokeh – how about the depth eh? dof 😉
