Photo Shoot Tomorrow!

Tuesday, August 5th, 2008

I was getting worried because I wasn’t sure If I was going to be able to afford a shoot this time around.  I usually shoot about every two weeks because thats what my budget can afford at the moment.  The price of gas and all that plus bills, had me pretty worried.  But I picked up an extra gig this week that will allow me to do it.  So I scheduled a shoot for tomorrow morning.

The model has never done nude modeling before so it should make for a challenging shoot. If you’ve been reading for a while, you’ve probably figured out that I love to be challenged.  It forces me to be better.  It makes me work harder in communicating ideas and poses.  It also makes me really analyze how I shoot and how I compose the shots.  I can’t wait to work with her and see what else I might learn!

I’ll be updating the site as I usually do after every shoot so stay tuned…


Point and Shoot!

Monday, August 4th, 2008

Over the weekend I got too busy with my family and other commitments to get in a scouting trip. However I did go and get a little point and shoot camera. The Sanyo S770BK. I paid $125 including a 2gb SD card. Its a cool little camera. What I wanted was a camera I could put in my pocket and take with me everywhere I go. And it’s perfect for that.

I won’t be shooting that top-dollar advertising gig with it, or doing any nude work with it. That’s for sure. But It’s great for the kind of shots that happen fast. When there’s no time to pull out the DSLR, get the flash out, set the ISO and exposure, and then snap the pic. By the time you do all that the opportunity is gone. From time to time I’l be pulling out the P&S and taking some shots as I see them.

Stay tuned…
