Silent Bob in da club
Playing a bit with lighting again, this time on a macro level. Two strobes, one lit under the table pointing up, with a full cut blue gel, and a gobo to reduce flare. On the right is another strobe, gelled 1/2 cut CTO, behind a small soft box. Changes the hue of the blue strobe to taste in Aperture
Although I wanted the shallow DOF of a f/1.4 aperture, it simply was not sharp enough to be pleasing. This was shot at f/3.2, 1/250s, ISO 100. Triggered with Cybersyncs. Just learning and talking out loud I guess.
This used to be a cycling blog
…remember back when?
Forcing myself out of a lazy, uncreative stupor, I decided to see what I could do with one light. I haven’t done much shooting these past weeks, feeling somehow held back by my environment (which is bullshit, by the way). With a little creativity you can take pictures of anything anywhere, and make it look good. That is not to say that these are either creative, or especially good technically, but I am playing and learning.
Summer Storm Shots – Toronto Lightning
Tonight was the craziest thunder storm since I’ve lived in the city, with the most impressive lighting. I cursed myself for not having a lens wide enough to capture it properly (note to self: buy a fisheye). Forgive the distracting backgrounds (which could have been cropped out, but were left in for context), but I only have the second best view in the city. Here are a few that turned out.
Post-storm sunset
In photography, sunsets are considered fluff, but I still like them. This is my view following last night’s epic thunderstorm.
