test post for FF...


Feel free to post a comment, had some trouble before with spam....

 

Man, IM sorry for the lame-O break that I took on FF. On the redesign, the comment system was not working as I had wished and I was getting flooded with spam. In addition, I went to Costa Rica on my honeymoon for 18 days....wow, what an adventure that was. I'll be posting the video that I shot on the trip. For once, I did not shoot any still photos! I bought a hybrid HD vid camera and shot documentary footage the entire trip..... just wait :)

Here is a shot setup that I was in the middle of a few months back. Working at 12noon is tough and usually not advised. We pull out the strobes and blast away at close proximity and at full power. Not going to win any awards for this, but thought that I'd like to show a few images from the setup... also, shooting at high noon in the Riviera Maya is a great way to pull out some hot color of the ocean...


here is my results...

The shot is kinda cliche... but when you stick an airplane in there, u usually get better results :)

 

 

cheers!

I just discovered this blog last night. I have a wedding coming up and not being a wedding photographer I was trying to do some research on flashes. I must say....this has changed my whole perspective on wedding photography. The site looks great!
