I’d love to hear some feedback on the new ports -love em? hate em? don’t care either way?  Click on over and let me know what you think…

Sunset Bride

I really like this image on a few levels – one, the lighting.  This was the “Exciting Lighting” contest so obviously use of lighting was a big part of the criteria.  Bryant has done it very well – creating dramatic, yet not “over the top” light, well balanced with the ambient.  The backlighting makes the veil “pop” and prevents the dark shadows that would have otherwise crept in the back of the dress/train.  The shadows are subtle and non-invasive, in fact they even work with the scene overall – creating the “pool” of light that surrounds the bride.

Secondly the composition.   Bryant has made good use of the classic rule of thirds, – I also really like the strong diagonals in the composition:

capture1

(sorry for the hack job!)

The colors are saturated and dramatic, but not the “hyperreal-neon-glowing” colors we see far too often (besides, it’s a wedding shot, it’s allowed to be a bit “poppy” in the color).  still, skin tone looks good (at least on my monitor) and the splash of red from the bouquet is a nice touch.

The pose is great, and the whole scene just exudes a sense of exuberance and joy.   I’m sure this was posed, but it looks like a great moment anyway.

Anyway, congrats to Bryant – well done, and enjoy the free registration to the Digital WakeUp Call tour!

Yours truly (left, with the hat hair), and Mr. Ziser (right):

img_4804-edit

His presentation was apparently a “dry run” of the material that he’ll be doing for the upcoming Digital WakeUp Call tour,  And if this was any indication it’s going to be a great one!

Lighting, Lighting and more Lighting.  Without tooting my own horn – I’m no slouch at lighting, but David is definitely a master, particularly when it comes to the kind of on-the-fly, quick-and-dirty techniques you need to know in a fast paced environment like a wedding.  I definitely jotted down a few notes on some techniques that I will be adding to my repitoire!

Business, business, and more business. David also shared a *ton* of info on the more mundane aspects of a photography business, giving insight into his digital workflow, sharing tips and tricks from some of his favorite sofware suites (including the best layout program *ever*, Lumapix FotoFusion), and great ideas for marketing, promition and client service.

Suffice to say, it was a great presentation even in it’s “rough” form, so the final Digital WakeUp Call version should be fantastic.   Definitely worth getting my butt out of bed at 5am and hauling up to NYC for!

And if that doesn’t make it sound good enough – stay tuned tomorrow when I’ll tell you how you can win a chance to go attend the Digital WakeUp Call tour in your city *for free* !

how about them apples? :-)

…but as for resolutions, I do have a couple – one of which being a new feature on this blog I’m tentatively calling “Making the Image”. Basically I’ll take one of my shots and break it down, from concept to lighting setups to execution to post processing – detailing the how and why for each step, and then obviously the final product. I know I always find such things useful (seeing the breakdown of a shot/shoot), so hopefully some of y’all will find it helpful as well!

]]> http://www.f1point0.com/2009/01/02/resolutions/feed/ 1 Taking fewer pictures. http://www.f1point0.com/2008/12/31/taking-fewer-pictures-2/ http://www.f1point0.com/2008/12/31/taking-fewer-pictures-2/#comments Wed, 31 Dec 2008 17:38:26 +0000 Ed Z http://www.f1point0.com/?p=483 As 2008 winds down and we begin another year, we get to do the whole “new years resolution” thing. One of my resolutions for the upcoming year is to take fewer pictures

[wait, what?]

Yup, that’s right – *fewer* pictures. I’ll explain – Digital cameras make us lazy. When I pick up my camera, I have (for all practical purposes) an unlimited number of shots available to me. It becomes far to easy to simply point the camera at something vaguely interesting and “spray-and-pray” hoping an image turns out. Now while I don’t think there’s inherently anything *wrong* with doing this, I feel that it definitely makes it easier to adopt a lazy attitude – thinking less about composition, form, nailing the shot, and just relying on sheer number of images to produce the end product.

Consider the following account of Drew Gardner, a photojournalist covering a firefight in Kosovo with a single roll of film. (I guess when getting a second roll means potentially getting shot, you make do with what you have!)

Talk about making every shot count! The point is that back in the days of film we were limited by the amount of film we could carry. How many rolls did you carry around with you on a daily basis? 4 or 5? Maybe 10 if you were going heavy? That’s 360 frames at the most (less if you shot 120/220). Heck, I know photographers now who shoot 360 frames in 10 minutes! Imagine if you knew you were limited to 50 or 100 frames for an entire day of shooting. Would you consider each shot more carefully? Of course you would. And in the end that makes us better photographers. Refining our eye, *really looking* at each composition, considering each subject carefully and critically. These are skills that may be in danger of going extinct as machine-gun-gazillion-frame-per-second SLRs take over. Sure it may be useful for somethings (sports, and well… sports) but when I see photographers on the forums with galleries full of cat and baby pictures arguing how they absolutely cannot use camera X because it is *only* 3fps and they *need* 10fps, I just have to laugh.

Further there seems to be an attitude that if you *aren’t* taking gobs of pictures you are somehow “shortchanging” the client or yourself. My attitude is that if I get “the shot” on the first frame, why am I going to waste 100 more on images that I know will simply sit in a dusty corner of my image library, never seeing the light of day.

Anyway, the point is that my resolution is to make *more* images, but take *fewer* pictures – I want to make sure that every frame that comes out of my camera is deliberate and considered. Each image should be thoughtfully arranged, deliberately composed and have a considered subject.

Why not try it? Go out for a day of shooting with an old memory card only big enough to hold a few images (128/256mb or so). Or even an old 35mm or 120 film camera (holgas or lomos are cheap!) and 1 or two rolls of film. After doing this a few times I gaurantee you will notice yourself composing more carefully and considering each shot – making it count. Much like my old post about why I love prime lenses, the principle is the same – imposing a creative restriction on your photography forces you to adapt to the situation, stretching yourself creatively and improving your skill. And in the end, isn’t that what it’s all about?

Anyway, happy new year to you all from all of us here at Ed Z Studios (meaning, well… me) and wishing you all many great images in the year to come!

A quick shot from the balcony of the hotel we went to for the evening of the 4th…

(this was shot at iso3200… I am absolutely floored by how clean and detailed the 5d is at 3200.  it is light years ahead of any crop-sensor camera I have used)

Finally one evening we had a spectacular lightning storm… the view over the ocean and the bay was fantastic as we watched the lighting move across into downtown Miami

(yes the second one is a bit blurry as I didn’t have a tripod, but the bolt was so cool it was hard to pass up)

Finally a few random snaps from here and there (along with the above, couldn’t figure out how to separate them out!)

1 year ago today, I embarked on this strange experiment of “blogging” that all the kids are doing nowadays.   And I kind of like it.  I know I’ve broken pretty much all the rules of writing a “proper” blog (particularly not posting on a regular schedule), but cut me some slack, I’m still a n00b.

As such, my primary resolution for this blog for the upcoming year is to maintain a regular 3x/week posting schedule – probably sun/tue/thur.  We’ll see how it goes!

Also, since it’s only been recently that I’ve started to get any kind of real traffic, I’m going to be reposting some of my earlier articles, for those new to the blog who may have missed them.

A big thanks to all my readers and commenters, and I’m looking forward to another great year!

Buncha fellow strobists showed up – Myself, Dan, Peter, Eddie, Eric, Ryan, Ray, and Gino (I think that’s everyone, if I left anyone out email me!)

And of course, our wonderful models who endured our shenanigans with poise and humor for almost 5hrs, Stephanie, Marina, Svitlana, and Elitka.

We met at my studio on in old city, and after assembling (along with tons of gear) we ventured out into the wilds of independence park
We started off at a the nice “cobblestone-y” area around the Ritz, and used a set of beautiful curved staircases for backdrops, with wide angle lenses to practice balancing flash/sky exposure. Got some nice shots, and then moved over to the picturesque little alley next to the old city tavern.

We then moved over to the steps of the first bank of the US, where we proceded to take over the sidewalk (and even the street!)

One of the best surprises of the evening came around 7:15 – we were still shooting on the steps, when the sun hit just the right spot in the sky, turning the glass building across the street into one giant reflector, throwing this beautiful *intense* warm light everywhere! We did a bunch of non-strobed shots, taking advantage of the spectacular natural light. It’s these little surprises that really make an event like this!

We wound down the evening in the park, doing some shots with greenery etc… and then to Buffalo Billiards for the survivors for the celebratory post-shoot beer (the most important part of any shoot). All in all a great time, and I’m looking forward to doing it again.

And of course the results: check the FLICKR THREAD as we post our shots from the meet! Looks like some really great stuff!

I haven’t had any problems with upgrades in the past, but in case something goes wrong, there is the potential for downtime, so bear with me!

(it’s also *much* easier to maintain on the backend, but that’s neither here nor there)

If you haven’t seen ‘em click on over to:

I’d love to hear your thoughts on the new interface.

Shots are in the sorting/processing stage – will be posted soon!
