Spinning Image

Do not attempt to adjust your monitor… the image is spinning, not you.

What you see in the image above is the result of something strange that started happening recently. It’s happened a few times which is why I’m writing about now. It actually started on a shoot I was doing with Ashleigh at the beginning of September and showed up again on my most recent shot with Sarah E. What’s happening is that I’ll start framing my shot, then I’ll press the shutter release halfway to get exposure readings and to have the camera’s autofocus get focused. I zoom in to make sure that the camera focused properly. I start to zoom out and that’s when it happens. My finger slips and bam! I ust took a really weird picture!

It only hapened twice on my shoot with Ashleigh so I figured it’s an anomoly. But when it happened again during the shoot with Sarah I thouhg that maybe something’s happening to make me take the picture prenmaturely. Of course I could just be over-thinking again. But If it happens on my next shoot then I’ll know it’s something I’ll have to work out. Below is the image I was trying to take…. enjoy!

Elizabeth - Aug. 30 2008

Today’s shoot went very well. Elizabeth, who was visiting from Virginia, was wonderful and It was a real treat to work with her. We went to a beach that I had scouted a few weeks ago. It’s one of those beaches where there isn’t another soul around. So we had the whole beach all to ourselves.

We started out with a few basic poses using a knit top that I had found at a department store a few days ago. I loved the knit material and how it looked against her skin. after a few minutes I had her take off the knit top and we started shooting nude.

Downed Tree

We found ourselves shooting all over the beach. We tried a lot of different kinds of shots. Further down the beach we found a downed tree that made for some very interesting shots as well. We tried to get into the water for a few shots but there were some rocks just under the surface of the water that made that a no-go. But we did get some good shots in the shore break.

After playing on the beach we went into the woods where we found a really cooll tree to play with. As many of you know… I love shooting nudes in trees. There’s just something about it that makes it so interesting.

All in all we had a lot of fun and I’m hoping that she visits Hawaii soon so we can work together again.

Im guessing this images is from the Beijing Olympics. A friend set me this link with a line that read…”this is why commercial photography is not for me.”

I just think it’s an interesting image.

An interesting find

In between shoots, I usually look back through old shoots to see what I missed or looking for lessons to learn from my mistakes. Today I went looking through a shoot I did with the model who I now refer to as “Goddess”. She has asked that I keep her name anonymous.

An Intersting Find

When I first saw this shot I thought that it was no good because of the light refracting in the lens. Today when I saw it my heart just skipped a beat and I couldn’t believe that I didn’t publish it before. I wonder what would happen if in a year or two from now. Would I edit the images differently? Would I pick different images to showcase? I can’t wait to find out…

Something fun and interesting

As I was looking around the net for something interesting to write about I came across this story about a large table in England. It’s a few years old but it’s still an interesting story.

Read the story on BBC’s website
