Hey everyone
Just wanted to post another shot to let you know that this challenge is still in progress!
This is one of my best friends, Jason.
Enjoy,

TrackbackContinuing on with the family theme I have going, as I was visiting my sister at college we were walking to a restaurant for supper and we stumbled this awesome little lighting situation! The sun was getting lower in the sky, and it was reflecting off of a garage with a big white door on the front – a 20 foot reflector if you might! It was aligning perfectly with this tree in the background, so I asked Angelina to pose for me and I was able to get the shot that I wanted. I think Angelina did great!
Taken with my 5D and 50mm 1.8 lens – all natural light.
Enjoy!

Comments rss TrackbackIt’s been a few weeks (too many in fact) since I’ve updated my 52photo project. I’ve been falling a little bit behind with all of the busyness that is happening around me, but I am here to say that I am working on getting caught up!
This past week I went on vacation to Chicago to meet my new neice, and I had lots of time to shoot. I brought along the simplest of setups – just my trusty Canon 5D and a 50mm 1.8 lens. It was nice and light to carry, and a lot of fun!
When I pulled up this shot though, I knew that I was going to be changing some gear in the near future - I love prime lenses!
This is my first neice, Clare! We had a good time playing on her swing, going to the park, and also to the zoo! I think I need to go and visit more often!
Blessings,

Comments rss TrackbackThis week I found a gorgeous new model, and I couldn’t resist taking more than 1 shot of her!
Actually I think I am going to go away from just doing 1 shot, not that I am backing down from the challenge, but I am finding that I am not learning as much as I could be if I can play around with different setups and try different things.
Anyways, technical setup was my 5D with 100mm macro lens, a 580EX II on a 42 inch shoot through umbrella to my right as my main light, and a 50 inch white reflector on my left to act as a fill. I also had another 580 EX II to act as a rim light behind my model.
Blessings,

Comments rss TrackbackI know this is late, but better late than never, right?
This week I got some new flash triggers for my camera, and so on Good Friday I decided to play around and shoot myself. Not gonna lie, I definetly could not do this one in a single shot (self potraits are very hard!), so after about 200 shots I ended up with this one. If you ever decide to shoot self portraits, here is a hint: teach yourself to smile first:)
My technical setup was a Canon 1D Mark IV camera with an 85mm 1.2L lens (amazing lens btw – kudos Canon!). For lighting I was going for a butterfly lighting setup (with a single umbrella directly above the camera), but I modified it a bit and for this shot I had a reflector in front of me, and I have 2 Canon 580 EX II speedlites firing into the white side of the reflector. If you have any comments on how I could have improved the lighting, please let me know!
I hope you like it, please don’t be too harsh and hurt my feelings!
Blessings,
Mark
