hanging out

Flash in the Fields

 

Yesterday Kimberly Brooke Green invited a couple of us up to hang out and shoot at one of her favorite locations near her studio in Westminster, MD. It was an amazing run-down barn and adjacent field with beautiful scenery everywhere you look. It has rained briefly earlier that day which made for gorgeous cloud cover for photography. Also Kim had her friend Bassin (who made for a great model) come out and hang with us for the afternoon! Check it out!


The "light tree" that Kim and I put together with an SB-80, two SB-900s, a SB-800 and four pocket wizards...all held on with Justin Clamps!

of COURSE I had to do a self-portrait!

Armin went to go pick up his car at the shop, so he missed this one...

DC PhotogShootout June 2009

Yesterday I met up with about 50 other photographers from the Baltimore/DC/Richmond markets for a the FIRST DC PhotogShootout. We all had a ton of fun, and it was great seeing good friends again, as well as meeting new people. Of course, as I've done at the past couple get-togethers, I ran up a very high shutter count on my D3 and created a stop-animation of the day (with some iPhone 3GS video thrown in for good measure)! Enjoy!

Here's the link if you want to watch in full quality!

Smithsonian Shoot

,

The other day I went to hang out in DC and give a little hands-on training to a new photographer, Jermaine. I hadn't been to the Smithsonian in FOREVER, so we hit up the Natural History Museum to give him some challenging indoor light to get under control. After the museums closed (way too early if you ask me) we went out on the Mall and took some exterior shots of the other museums and the Capitol. Here's a couple from the day.

This is a 15 second exposure, to make most of the crowd "disappear"

Unfortunately the day we went was the day the shooting happened in the Holocaust Museum
