We welcome travel photos... from you!

I'll be in Florida all Spring Break doing things. And I'll take pictures too. I invite anyone to let all the readers see what travel photos you would like to share. Have em posted on this site, or simply post a link to your own site. No description for the picture/snapshot needed, anything goes.
Send me an email lpn071000@utdallas.edu

Also, I would like to know if there is anyway for a user to post pictures onto a gallery without having to register for anything. I think there is a ATEC flickr pool but hoping for something more easier and simpler to upload and share.

My 6X-cross filter made the flare. My normal filter was on my other, main lens.

I need to practice balancing color temperatures on the lights. There is a green burn-in on Patrick's face.

Objects and Head Shots

Sorry, I got lazy with updating the blog. :( I don't really like my shots from the photoshoot with Reiko so I'm not blogging about those. Here are a few shots from an assignment we did for class. We had to practice lighting form.


Object: Sake Bottle
Comments: For this shot, I sort of followed the beer bottle setup shot from strobist: http://strobist.blogspot.com/2008/03/diy-light-beer.html My modified version was using what I was able to check out from school, which was two tungsten lights (one of the left and right of the bottle) and I also used one 430speedlite (underneath pointing upwards).


Object: Yoyamart Dunny
Comments: One tungsten light camera left pointed at the object and one camera right pointed at the back of the object.


Object: Sake Set
Comments: One tungsten light camera left pointed at the object and one camera right pointed at the back of the object.

Object: Yoyamart Dunny
Comments: Here you can see my setup. The glass on the box is a piece of glass/plastic from a picture frame and the black cloth is a graduation gown, because I couldn't find a large piece of black cloth.


Model: Melanie Yenchai
Comments: I decided to try a head shot with the tungsten lights for class. There was supposed to be kiwi floating around her face, but that didn't work out since they just sunk to the bottom of the tub! The lesson learned from this is to test out your concept first. :(

Model: Melanie Yenchai
Comments: I used the dynalite strobes for this. One camera left with a sofbox and one high above her camera right pointing downwards.


Model: Leah Foster
Comments: We were practicing doing glamour shot lighting for head shots upstairs in the art barn since I found a tutorial on it. I believe long posted up a setup shot previously.


Model: Caly Ngo
Comments: I learned that when the model wears black and a tank top, the image doesn't turn out as well as someone wearing brighter colors and a long sleeve shirt.
