Tree Yoga shoot

From last Friday. There may be more shoots of this in the future. Hal, the director, is looking at publicizing tree yoga and may need our expertise in getting images published. There is also a choreographed video in the works. Let me know through my email if there are any videographers out there who want to know more.

Does Canon 580ex II have built in optical slave?

I don't trust the web forums for reliable information, so a question for the photographers.
Does the Canon 580ex II have built in optical slave?
i.e. does the flash fire when it sees other flash firing?

Sorry, I have been neglecting this blog. We need a new flier! The one we have up now is an embarrassing photo of me. =( Also, if anyone else at UTD wants to write in this blog, then please tell us!

Okay, so here are a few pictures that I have taken since my last post.

Model: Melanie Yenchai
Comments: This was also taken at the St. Anthony hotel in San Antonio at their bar area using one 430ex flash with a softbox. I put together the background and Melanie on different layers to achieve this look.



Model: Patrick Su
Comments: This was around the time I was practicing head shots. I used the dynalites for this and had one of the strobes as a hair light.


Model: Gene Rios
Comments: Another headshot with the dynalites from school. Look ma, no reflections! :)


Model: Hai Yen Nguyen
Comments: This was on campus at UTD and I was trying a different lighting technique with using a faster shutter speed.

Model: Hai Yen Nguyen
Comments: This was also on campus at UTD. There was a random motorcycle near the library that she hopped on really quickly for this picture. =)


Model: Alice Nguyen

I could use a SFF DSLR

Small Form Factor, cause I'm going to Siggraph this summer! The Nikon D5000 just released and I could use a small dslr for my upcoming trips.

The video makes it seem like my 1st grader can do it.

And something for the photography class
