hangar hijinks

Last Friday, Trevin and I did a bunch of jumping and cartwheeling and other stupid stunts at the Chase Jarvis Hangar Shoot. I couldn’t pick just one shot to feature (for now), so I slapped all of them together in a video. You can watch it above streamed from Flickr, or, if you don’t like Flickr vids, head on over to YouTube to watch it.

Here are some technical details for the gearheads out there:

- Everything was shot on my Nikon D300 with a Nikkor 10.5mm f/2.8 Fisheye that I rented from Glazer’s Camera.
- The camera was triggered with a Gadget Infinity wireless remote.
- Lighting is comprised of 2 Nikon SB-600s in shoot-through umbrellas at camera left and camera right at 5 ft. high and aimed towards the staging area. Power levels fluctuated between 1/2 and 1/4 power.
- For the most part, exposure was set at 1/250th sec. at f/8 and f/5.6. The ISO was at 800 to let in more ambient light.
- Basic adjustments to maintain lighting consistency was done in Lightroom 2.
- All of the frames were sequenced together in QuickTime Player. Titles and music were added in iMovie.

Thanks to Margaret for being the remote operator on my camera! And thanks to Chase Jarvis and crew for hosting an awesome meetup!

same sunset, different views

A few friends and I went out to Golden Gardens on Wednesday night to hang out and watch the sunset. We all had cameras, we all took pictures from relatively the same location, and we all came up with several different photos.

Here’s mine shot with an 85mm lens:

Whenever you get a bunch of photographers together to shoot the same subject, you always run the risk of churning out exactly the same photos. It didn’t happen this time. I love how you can tell each photo is from the same location on the same night, but each one has its own look. It really helped that we were all shooting at different focal lengths and focusing on different elements of the scene. It also helped that there were only 8 of us out there that night and not the 50+ of a normal Flickr meetup. :)

help me pick out my new moo cards

I’m having trouble picking out photos for my new set of Moo cards. There are just too many to choose from, and my brain isn’t working right. So I’m turn to you, my most awesome readers (there are a few of you out there, I think…), to help me choose which images you think I should put on a new set of Moo cards. I already have a few in mind, but I’d like to know what you might like to see on the back of a card.

Have a gander at my Flickr photostream and tag the photo(s) with "Moo2" or leave a comment on the photo. After a certain point (likely in a week or so), I’ll narrow down the nominations to my final picks and share the results.

Let’s see how this works!

a sliver of foole

Here’s a portrait of my buddy Sean that I took at the Seattle Flickr Meetup Garage Shoot at the University of Washington this past weekend. This was lit with one Nikon SB-600 in a silver reflective umbrella somewhere out of frame at camera right. I underexposed the photo quite a bit to make sure I really killed the background (gray concrete wall in the bottom floor of a parking garage) and then boosted the brightness later in post. No special extending of the frame in Photoshop this time. Composed as-is in camera with my new 85/1.8. I think it turned out well.
