Fill Flash

Monday morning Nichole and I both got up around 4am to get ready to shoot our fill flash. We drove about an hour to our location and I tried to catch the sunrise. My first location I had picked was not in the East but the West so we have to change things. I struggled with my flash and trying to find the right exposure with my subject and background. It was definitely a learning experience. I plan on showing Ms. Finch what I have and see if she thinks I need to re shoot. Hopefully I got something good. Nichole was such a pleasure to work with as usual she is ready to do anything!

Interview

Last week Nichole interviewed me about my photography. With what I have been doing, where things are going with this quarter, and some other cool stuff. Check it out here !

Night Photography part 2

My boyfriend's sister is graduating highschool this May and photography is something that she is interested in, so I decided while visiting up there that I would show her something really fun to do: Night Photography. I talked about this in a previous post. Night Photography really is one of the funniest things I have done as a stress reliever. You can really have fun with it. Well she loved it and here is one of the images we did.

Tennessee

Saturday I was in Tennessee visiting family and was going to try to shoot my environmental assignment for Photojournalism. However that fell through but I did have a lot of fun. We ended up going to the Chattanooga National Cemetery. I ended up taking quite a few pictures, the sunset was amazing and the whole place very moving.

Puppies

Well...the time finally came and Fancy had her puppies. We thought there was only going to be five puppies maybe six however she had SEVEN. I can not even believe it, 5 boys and 2 girls! Here is a picture I took for her the following day. Now I am going to have seven new models!!!

Cat Gwynn

When I first started thinking about internships for this coming year, I found Cat Gwynn based out of California. I really like her style. To me there is almost a Vintage feel to her photographs and something that just makes me happy. She has multiply clients, awards and hung in galleries from coast to coast. If I can I would love to intern with her!

Environmental Assignment

One of up coming assignments for Photojournalism is an Environmental Portrait. For this assignment I have been wanting to go an shoot a Paintball player because my boyfriend has connections that can get me on the field. I am going to go to Insane Paintball. I have been doing some research about what I need to do and be careful. I do not want to come away with a broken lens. There is an article about Paintball Photography I found.

Night Photography

Tonight Nichole and I are going to do some night photography. A couple of quarters ago it was one of our assignments and we had a blast with it. Well now that I have my SB-600 flash we are going to do it again. We are unsure of where we are going be looking forward to having some fun tonight after a busy day of Holiday Portrait set-up!

Feature Picked

Tonight I talked with Ms. Finch and had my feature photo chosen for Photojournalism tomorrow morning. I like the image although Ms. Finch and I talked about how it could have been better. Which was very beneficial because I have been struggling with realizing what is important with Photojournalism, as well as when to stick with an idea.

Go INDIE!

Another Photo Contest from PDN called Go Indie. $10 per entry for amateur. Check out the rules, prizes. I think contest like these are great ways for all of us to get noticed!

AJ Sokainer Dies

 Celeb Photographer A.J. Sokalner died at Lady Gaga event. A.J. Sokalner shot for Ace Pictures who was in his 50s.

Facial Structure Reshaping

So along with the De-Aging video I found this one about Facial Reshaping. I think both videos are really cool, and I am looking forward to working on an image using these techniques.

Nature & Landscape Photographer

I have been looking at different Landscape Photographers lately and thinking about our interships that we will soon have to go on. While doing so I found Joseph Rossbach. His photographs are amazing, vivid and beauty. He is based out of MD but does alot of travel to different states. Joseph Rossbach would be the perfect person to intern with. He already does alot of workshops and classes which everyone should check out!

Looking Younger

Everyone always wants to look younger. Every time I take a photograph of my mom, this is what she always wants. So I found a video about De-Aging thanks to Photoshoptalent .

Removing glasses

I found this tutorial online about how to remove glasses. I thought it was pretty cool, but I can see with other photos how it might be a little hard. Now I want to take a photograph of someone with glasses just to see if I can remove them. I found this video on You Tube but they have their own website with more information and some neat things! Check out the website Tutvid.com

Halloween Wedding

Halloween is always fun, getting to dress up and have the chance to be a kid! This Halloween was especially great because my hairdresser and dear friend Sarah got MARRIED and it was a costume wedding. The groomsman were pirates and most of the guest dressed up. I did not take as many photos as I would have liked, I did not want to get in the way of the professional because I know how annoying that can be but I did get a couple of good ones! I loved this guys costume! Got Milk?

PRIDE in Atlanta

Well the pride parade was definitely not something to miss! When we first got there to the corner at 10th, there was a massive amount of people. I was so worried that I was not going to be able to get any good pictures. But we kept walking and found as awesome place to be! Right next to some religious people protest. The things they said, and the things that happened were crazy. I took a ton of photos! I am hoping that in the mix one of them is good enough for my feature! I had an awesome time, and the people were great! I am definitely going back next year! In the photo above a pride supporter got hit in the head by one of the religious protesters. Their signs said Abortion is Murder Homosexuality is Sin and Islam is a Life.

Pride Parade

I am about to leave to head downtown for the Pride Parade. I am very excited and am hoping to get some amazing pictures. It starts at 1pm. I am planning on parking somewhere along the parade route and then going into Piedmont Park to take some more pictures!!! Wish me luck. Hope to see some of yall there!
