SLAYERPHOTOGRAPHY

Had a trip to the cinema town called “Cinevilla”. Rented some costumes and had a photo shoot.

Another drop of creativity in my cauldron of insanity. Great session, girls were prepared for several photo sets, I love when clients are serious about their appearance, and do everything to look extremely cool. So at the beginning we made some warm-up shots, then we started to do our main idea “Cops and robbers”, and then we continued to have fun shooting some avant-garde Lady Gaga style photos. Had a lot of fun during a 5 hour photo session (I think this was the longest session I had so far).

One day after the work, me and my wife decided to go at the beach. Also I wanted to test ND filters and my skill in assisting myself while shooting. ND4 filter that I bought from eBay, was pretty good, just needed some white balance tweaking and you are ready to shoot some wide apertures in a sunny day.

About self assisting, well, I didn’t show good results for myself, my 120×90 reflector always was unstable and too big to handle. It was a little windy at the beach, so I couldn’t focus my reflector with one hand and take shots with another hand. But I’ve made some good shots after all.

So what did I learn from that session?
Assistant – Priceless : )))

The Lomography Spinner 360 is a new creation from the lomography society, it’s a rubber-band driven handheld snapshot 360 degree panorama camera. You hold the camera in one hand pull the cord with the other and in a split second you get the 360 panoramic view on your 35mm film. The frame more than 4 times longer than a conventional landscape picture.

Last week I had a small 2 day trip to Belgium, Rotterdam and Amsterdam.

Another stop motion video from Dabe Alans tattoo sleeve, Enjoy!

P.S. Check out the previous one (photographers tattoo sleeve).

So I decided to grab the winters tail and shoot one more session this winter. It was a sunny day 15:30, the sun was setting down, and we stopped not far from a TV tower and made our photo shoot.

So what did I learn from that session.
Once again, don’t make photo sessions when it’s cold and windy. Your brain freezes along with your body and you can’t think straight.

After a new year there was a contest on a local forum that I read, it called “Consequences of a New Year”. I need to make a picture in a humored manner, so I decided to focus on a calendar date 2 of January. In the end the contest failed, cause only 2 works had been sent. But still I’m glad I had that motivation to make some interesting shots, I’ve never done before.

This week I made one couple shoot. It was -10 outside and we were able to work only for 1 hour so I didn’t get as much pictures I wanted. I hope when the weather will become warmer we will continue this photo shoot with them.

Today I spontaneously decided to write some things I learned after each shoot, cause there is always something new in every photo session.

Now what did we learn ?
I learned that I’ll think twice next time I want to shoot outside when there is ten degree below zero.
