Project Profile

I lot of things has been going on my mind lately. All things photography that is. I've been thinking of a personal work that i will call "PROJECT PROFILE." This is a project wherein i will photograph willing people here in the UAE. It Doesn't matter what nationality or what work they are in. It can be Models, sales people, corporate guys, aspiring talents, dancers, waiters, drivers, labourers etc. As long as they are living and breathing they are prospects! What they get in return are quality photos they could keep use for whichever purpose it may serve.

There are a few things that i need to note. If ever i work with models, i would sitdown with them and brainstorm on a concept that they would like to work on. We will also talk about makeup artist if we find one that will work for FREE in exchange for images in a portfolio.

I am starting to build a niche into Lifestyle/portraiture photography. So with this project i am to develop my skills in shooting more into lifestyle or portraiture.

LET THE PROJECT BEGIN!

Another dayoff adventure. Brought my gear except light modifiers. Ate at a restaurant, walked a mile under the scorching Dubai sun and did what i love most, I took photos of the trip. Starting at the restaurant, i love the light. backlit which gave a glow feel in the atmosphere. metered her face to give it a reading of +1 since she's white ( using zone system created by master photographer Ansel Adams). Used spot metering for most of my shots. IT's the most accurate metering out there and most of the time my camera is set to spot metering.

We got to the beach and i thought everything would be great and all Until i saw a big warning sign at the police outpost... "NO CAMERAS ALLOWED ON THE BEACH!" Crap. big crap. But that wouldn't stop me from taking photos. i had my camera wrapped inside a towel while i took shots. hehehe i was also able to notice that one of my lens has the sharpest quality at f8. dang. f8. f8. f8. that just stuck to my head. wasn't able to bring out long 70-200 because i'll be needing a bigger towel for that.

How i just wish there's more people to photograph here in Dubai. It's not as easy as it is back home. I promised myself to shoot like crazy when im back in the Phils. XDEAL anyone?

and yes, i'd shoot for FREE!

new triggers

Testing new triggers that just arrived to day. Their so small and could really fit your pocket. I need to do something to keep them from dangling off of my flash. Maybe some double sided tape and some Velcro will do the job. Anyway here are some shots taken. USED JPEG because i am not interested with editing later on, i am only testing the range of these babies.

Photo#1 is the view from below my apartment and about 2 basketball courts away. ( Sorry guys. I'm not good with Math so let's just imagine things in our head, okay?) speed at 250th @ f2 ISO 200.
Photo #2: Let's walk a little farther this time. Now I'm like 2 basketball court away from my flash. Slower shutter speed to let the ambient burn in. Btw, my flash is at the 6th level of this building. that's the one with blue light. WB set to Auto and since there's much more tungsten light it adapted a tungsten color balance rather than a flash color balance so my flash turned a little buish in color.
Photo #3: now i'm at the farthest possible distance from my flash. i'm around 4 basketball courts away. DANG! it still fires. one more step back and my flash won't be able to receive data from the trigger. LEt's burn the ambient so you could see it better.
Here we go, slow speed at 1/2 sec handheld. ISO 200 and F2.My flash is at the 6th level of the building. That's the one with the bluish lighting caused by my flash. (^_^)
I'm excited to try this on my next shoot! So where the hell can i get a model? hmmmmm...
