^^ Right on Point!! :D

Great shot! :thumbsup

Thanks.


CW, I commend you not only on your excellent work photographically but as a man having the strength and loyalty to your wife to NOT go try and become the cream filling in that sandwich.

My wife was with me at the shoot, thus making it even easier for me to remain creamy filling free.


Great shot, Casey.

Thanks Mark.

Ahhh San Diaaaago.

Discovered by the Germans in 1904, they named it San Diego, which of course in German means a whale's vagina.

I cannot comment on that one, Kyle. The Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002JCSV8U/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=zhpcom-20&linkCode=as2&camp=217145&creative=399373&creativeASIN=B002JCSV8U) is a great lens, though. Highly recommend. I got it through Amazon.com.

[UdubBadger]

it carries a price tag but a VERY worthy lens that you can do portrait work with also. 70mm looks fantastic.

Only idiots hold those dogmatic views, Casey. I think you've proven those people wrong with your hard-light photos.

These are the same people who think that you can take bad pictures and explain it away by saying "because full frame."

love the hard lighting dude.

[C Withers Media]

The good news is that both of these beautiful women love the shots as they are "exactly what we wanted, like a Guess ad." I guess soft light gets you a soft, uhhhhh, yeah. Plenty more from this set, just wait.

Yes. Same day. I decided to process this one a little differently than I normally do. Was going for a strong Earthy, neutral look. Also wanted to make sure I kept enough green in the shot so that it didn't come off as ashy and dead.

I shot this one at about waist level.

Shooting into the sun with an ND8 filter and 1 b800 set at 1/4 for fill through a soft box with the outer diffuser removed. Setting was f/2.8 and 1/250.

[UdubBadger]

yeah it looks awesome, separation from the background is great. so you left the soft box open but used the inner smaller shoot thru on? what does that do specifically? harder light on the edges?

[C Withers Media]

It's harder light on the edges, and I just thought it about but I was shooting with that AB at full power, I probably pulled the front sheet to get more light and harder edges.

@Dane, Casey, Static, John -

Glad you liked the pic. One of the more humorous things about being a parent is that whenever you try to show them new things they notice and fixate on something else. We took her to the LA Live complex which is a bunch of restaurants and an ice rink decorated for Christmas and she fixated on a recessed light that changed color, and the Moon.

Yea maybe I edited it too much...it's a handheld LED light.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Are you holding it? Or is it sitting on the hood by itself?

[M0nk3y]

Are you holding it? Or is it sitting on the hood by itself?

Just laying on a table.

I didn't want to focus purely on the light itself, that's boring IMO. The light beam though I find interesting...I saw there was dust, and figured that was a cool area to focus on...using 1/3rd rules...etc.

Yes/no?

[Marcus-SanDiego]

My eye is definitely drawn to the dust speck (right third). Mission accomplished.

Wait until you get that nifty fifty. You won't need to crank up the ISO to 3200 to get this same shot. You'll be a happy camper.

[UdubBadger]

m0nkey it is an interesting piece. I think the only thing to improve could be a crop (or frame position next time). though basically anything i ever say on here is artistic expression, I'll add my thoughts to yours. simply, i would have placed the light in the 1st third of the frame (left about middle height and distance from edge) so that the beam - where it is brightest - would lead your eye all the way across the photo and both corners on the extreme right. Right now it works but I feel like my eye really only wants to look at 2/3rds of the photo.

there is also always the tripod route for a shot like that too. if its not moving or in a tight spot, my professors shit themselves when we shoot hand held for stuff like this.

[wsmeyer]

@m0nkey - I think it's a really interesting photo as well and I hope you go back and explore it some more. I agree with Udub that a tripod is in order. It looks pretty good for ISO3200 and in most pics that amount of noise wouldn't be much of a problem but in this one it gives the appearance in the lower left of less contrast then there actually was or should be. Other things I would try would be stopping it down to give more depth of field. In my mind I imagine it would be cool if the focus started just past the blown out area right in front of the flashlight and extended a good 10 inches or so - and it followed the grain of the wood.

William.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

^^ ISO 3200. Not surprised. That D3100 is going to start showing serious noise at ISO 1600 (and probably even at ISO 800).

If you could get that ISO down, by having a larger aperture (by using a 50mm f/1.4 or f/1.8, for example), that would go a long way toward giving you more confidence in low-light shooting conditions.

As it stands, you were shooting very close to wide open on the lens you were using (at that focal length). You were also using a slow shutter speed, too (which also helped get more light to the sensor). You did all you could. Would have liked to see that bokeh without the noise. Would have looked great.

Ahhhh I love these! We ran out of space to set them all up :(

[M0nk3y]

^^ ISO 3200. Not surprised. That D3100 is going to start showing serious noise at ISO 1600 (and probably even at ISO 800).

If you could get that ISO down, by having a larger aperture (by using a 50mm f/1.4 or f/1.8, for example), that would go a long way toward giving you more confidence in low-light shooting conditions.

As it stands, you were shooting very close to wide open on the lens you were using (at that focal length). You were also using a slow shutter speed, too (which also helped get more light to the sensor). You did all you could. Would have liked to see that bokeh without the noise. Would have looked great.

Keep up the good work, Kyle.

Blah, ISO performance FTL :(. I wish I did more research and looked up ISO performance of the 3100 vs 5100. I need to find a cheap tripod too.

I do really need those prime lens. Like I said, I asked for a 35mm f/1.8, and will probably get a 50 f/1.8 as well down the road. I'll have to go to downtown at home and take some shots, I really liked the bokeh that I was creating...just wish for more w/out noise.

Oh well...gotta work with what you got. Thanks Marcus

Haha!!! So adorable. Is that him standing by himself?

[Marcus-SanDiego]

He's just a little over six months. Not walking yet. I told mom to hide behind him so that it would look as though he was on his own. He stands up and he is now taking a couple of steps with our assistance. I figure he'll walk in the next three months. Strong kid.

Tried out some lighting techniques suggested to me by CW, liking how they turned out. Both of these are basically right out of camera, slight WB correction and a slight 5x7 crop on the 1st one.

They really seemed to POP right out of the camera with minimal editing. Thanks for the tip CW.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Looking good, SA.

[C Withers Media]

Seth, they pop because there is so much natural seperation from background to subject. Well done. I dig it.

[UdubBadger]

I forgot I back lit her too, that usually helps. LOL

A few shots of the Schram Memorial Chapel here in Glenview. It was the base chapel here at the Glenview Naval Air Station (GNAS) since the 1950's, restored and moved in early 2000's after the base was closed (1995) and turned into a massive shopping center, championship golf course and 300+ custom high end living community homes.

ya know marcus, thinking about it more and looking through my flickr page - that shot (#3) is my "go to" shot.
way too many of my favorite images i've taken over the last year have the subject in the foreground left and something else meaningful in the background to the right, slightly out of focus/bokeh.

weird

Great shots everyone!! lol ever since finals week a couple weeks back, I haven't been able to really look at the awesome work you guys are creating! Finally getting a little time here and there, but still busy as I'm on vacation in Florida, and enjoying every part of Disney! Feels good to lay back and be a little kid again! :D So let me know what you guys think....as I'll be posting up quite a few photos from my trip! As of right now, I've taken 800+ photos from Cinderella's castle to Illuminated Parades! I'll probably just post a new thread when I get the majority done, but here's a few I've taken!! Enjoy guys and keep up the great work!

Great pic, so pretty with the water crashing over the rocks beside her. I like the subdued coloring too.

[Jon D]

Took this picture a while ago when sailing south from Norfolk to Charleston SC offshore Hatteras.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-AtMkuofWL24/TvaBaVM3D4I/AAAAAAAAAzg/I32SyYANkpU/s1024/Dolphin.jpg

Thought it did a nice job capturing the dolphin just playing with the boat. We were probably doing 8+ knots so moving right along. He or she was doing 20+ as desired.

[Jon D]

I was looking for a picture for other reasons when I came across both of these. Here's another shot, same trip further south.. clear sunny beautiful day.. Dolphin playing with the bow. There was a whole school, but I really liked this perspective.

how do you like it so far? what kind of camera body do you shoot on again?

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Nice lens, Kyle. Glad you got it. Nice shots.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Nikon D3100.

[M0nk3y]

At first I was shooting and I never was getting focus...(even though it was focusing on something). Initially I thought it was the filter I had on it (I bought a tiffen CPL) and it was causing it be be blurry, but then I backed up a bit and it was starting to get clear.

Marcus got it right, D3100


Nice lens, Kyle. Glad you got it. Nice shots.

Thanks.

[UdubBadger]

ah ok so crop sensor... so your 35mm is like the 50mm on a full frame which is VERY fun to play with. Nice choice.

[M0nk3y]

I'm liking it so far :)

Thanks, Dane. I was inspired by this shot: http://www.zhpmafia.com/forums/showthread.php?4876-Links-to-photos-that-give-you-inspiration-or-awe-NO-CARS&p=138066#post138066

I wanted to see what I could do with it.

Casey and I were shooting at this location yesterday (for the thick fog that rolled in) and today for the airplanes that would cut through our shots. I've seen Casey's money shot already. Hopefully he will post it.

[M0nk3y]

Nice shot Marcus.

Your best shot to date IMO. Mark and I were having breakfast this morning and I mentioned it to him and showed him on my phone. I rarely stop in my tracks.

My 1st shot of 2012.
