The Bleeding Heart Massacre - Jul 09 - Vic

At the Red Rooster. Again. Didn't get fancy this time, just one hand held speedlight (radio triggered so that I could leave it on the stage and shoot from farther away) and my 24-105 zoom.

A little light retouching

I went over to Amberley's apartment on a whim to practice shooting portraits in an impossible and unforgiving location.

This was lit with 2 shoot through umbrellas. One from the front and camera left, the other to rear and camera right. I don't think the were quite at 180 degrees from each other. Both were centered just above eye level. The key light was gelled with a 1/4 CTO.

Shot it at F5 with my 28-105 zoomed to 93mm.



My ulterior motive was needing some fresh portraits to practice retouching on after picking up Lee Varis' book 'Skin'. When I first learned about retouching skin I learned all the bad habits (mostly to do with using blur) that make for completely unrealistic portraits. Now I'm trying to pull back from that edge and restrain myself from overdoing it.

Sound of Music Parade

Shot from the rainy Sound of Music parade in Burlington 2 weeks ago. This kid ran out in front of me and blocked what probably would have been a worse shot.





Shot details
- 100 ISO
- F5 / 125
- 105mm (24-105 zoom)

Lucky Bamboo - Desktop Background

This is a random shot of some lucky bamboo in my apartment that I thought would make a nice desktop background. The only light source was my large glass door to the balcony and a heavily overcast day.





I've reformatted it into what I assume are the most common desktop resolutions for both both regular and widescreen monitors.
