Another photo from the first meeting of the Photo Fight Club, Darya in a bit of a glamour shot, and probably the last I’ll post from this shoot.
Here, Darya is lit by a Speedlight high and 45-degrees to camera left and another speed light about head-high camera right, both bounced into a white umbrellas.
From the first meeting of the Photo Fight Club, Darya and her new kitten Benson. I mostly took this as an exemplar of shooting available light with technique over technology. And no, that’s not a typo in the Exposure section, I took this hand-held at 1/6 of second.
My friend Dave and his fiancée Jin are getting married this spring. This is a portrait I shot a couple weeks ago as they tried out their wardrobe. Shot on campus not far from the main entrance.
We have a speedlight firing into umbrella camera right as the main light source, and a couple others adding fill lighting.
My friend Darya was kind enough to pose for some photos for the our new photo club (if we get consistent, I’ll post some info on the blog).

My friend Megan was kind enough to pose for some photos for the Strobist Boot Camp Assignment. After an uninspiring first round, we added the umbrella as a scene prop, and that made all the difference. I made several photos that I liked, including this one. Unfortunately, one of the best shots of the day ended up over-exposed by 3-stops as I set the flash to optimize for Scott’s setup, and I forgot to adjust my camera to match. If I mange to save that one, I’ll post it here for comments.
Here, Megan has the last bits of daylight directly in front of her, and a Speedlight high and 45-degrees to her left bounced into a silver umbrella.
Shot for Strobist Boot Camp Assignment #1. James has with him my Ovation guitar.
Two off camera flashes firing to James’ right, both triggered by the on camera flash. I’m shooting with fast sync and a small aperture to throw the background into darkness.
I have two reasons for uploading this second portrait of Scott. First, it proves that I can take a more traditional portrait, as opposed to some of my more stylized work. And second, I get to bump my own mug off the front page. This photo was about 3 stops under-exposed, and corrected in Photoshop.
I promised to create another self-portrait, and here’s the best of the latest attempt. I’ve apparently developed a crooked smirk at some point in the last few years. I’ll admit that part of the timing of this photo is to provide a decent photo for my Onion Personals profile.
An old adage has it that, “the devil himself would make a good sailor, if he could only tie a bowline and look aloft.” I don’t know about the devil, but I’ve rarely had a chance to set foot on tall ships more the less venture into the rigging. But nonetheless here is a view “looking aloft” aboard the full-rig Cisne Branco.
The head truss of 100 East Pratt Sreet as seen through the rigging of the tall ship Cisne Branco. I like the juxtaposition of old technology with new, but oddly enough the modern building is 8 years older than the boat.
