A video mash-up of nerdly proportions…

Torn by good and evil and an incestuous love affair, a lonely and depraved Darth Vader has a nervous breakdown, and starts talking about baseball.

Laugh of the day

Cynthia sent a copy of the picture I posted yesterday to the her Help Desk . She received a reply back saying that it might be a good idea to have a fire extinguisher in her office…

Lessons Learned

Last night’s photo shoot got me thinking more about portraiture work.

While Thomas Escalante’s antics in front of the camera might have spoiled the shot as a group photo, it demonstrated the fun that can be had when shooting someone as charismatic and animated as he is.

El Orbits – Promo Shots

Went out to 3700 Main to take some shots of The El Orbits for possible use on the upcoming new album as well as other promotional material.

Let me tell you, shooting for fun is one thing, shooting on spec is a different animal entirely. I shoot in my own particular style and “as my mood dictates.” I capitalize on opportune lighting and subject matter and I do it for my own pleasure.

Setting up a shot and trying for a specific effect combined with dealing with various personalities makes me edgy. Of course they’re all friends and that helps. But still, I get stage fright from behind the camera if that makes any sense.

I have a ton of photos to process this week. These two jumped out right off the bat:

We’ll see how they stand up after I’ve had a chance to more fully review what I’ve got.

Portraits of Jim – revisited

When I first got my 50m 1.4 lens for the Sony Alpha 100 about a year ago, I shot a couple of quick, casual shots of my friend Jim while having lunch.

They were very clean and I really liked what I got just off the cuff, as it were.

In looking at them now I decided I could probably coax a little more life out of them with a few tweaks in Photoshop.

Shot handheld using the Tamron AF 28-75mm f2.8 XR Di lens. The dragonfly was being VERY cooperative and hanging around as I shot picture after picture.

The auto-focus couldn’t lock in so these were shot using manual focus, which is particularly difficult for me what with the glasses and all…
