Photo shoot

I did a Photo shoot 2 days ago with 2 of my friends.
One was inside of my house. Move all my furniture around to create a studio.
Rented lights from my friend Matt Walker that include this.

1 X Balcar concept B3 Battery control
2 X Balcar concept Z4 Lights
1 X Pocket wizard plus Digital reciever and 1 transmitter
and a couple of differed sizes of Dynaphos soft boxes

First was the inside shoot and i had some idea's about what i wanted.
Found it was pretty hard to get what i wanted.
Don't think i got the lighting right but it was the first try.
Directing the model was hard but fun to do.
But end the end we got into it and got some fun Photo's.
These are for my tutorials on touch up's.

Second was outside and that was really fun.
I though we had tons of light out still, but for the camera it was already dark.
First we when to a spot found there was not enought blue sky to put the model agains.
So we move location and we had some really good results.
The model was easy to work with.
Moved for the lens and just played, that was nice for me.
Here by 2 photo of the Photo shoot.

HDR

On this Blog of me you can find what I am up to with my Photo work and Photoshop

So today I was on my way to a meeting with the girls of The new Festival that is happening in the Squamish Valley
It is The Bass Coast project festival Check there web site out reaaally Goood
www.basscoastfestival.com
But on my way there I toke some Photo of the mountains around there
This is my first really try on doing HDR photography

What is HDR photography: look it up on Wikipedia and this what it sad
high dynamic range imaging (HDRI or just HDR) is a set of techniques that allows a greater dynamic range of luminances between light and dark areas of a scene than normal digital imaging techniques. The intention of HDRI is to accurately represent the wide range of intensity levels found in real scenes ranging from direct sunlight to shadows.

So the photo you will see here is made out of 4 differed photo
With all differend shutter speed settings
so you will get everything in the right exposure so no blow out sky or to dark of a for ground

Here is JOhan first try to it
