Winter session IV (Anna)

slayerphoto — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 08:56:19 +0000

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.

Couples, Winter session III (Olga & Raimond)

slayerphoto — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 22:12:46 +0000

A week ago I had another winter engagement session with a beautiful couple Olga and Raimond. They wanted to make several engagement sessions (winter/spring/summer) and an engagement movie, so we were lucky to catch the last weekend of beautiful snow. We made some great shots, and video material thanks to Roman from ChewedFilm Entertainment (check out our videos on YouTube and Vimeo).

Now what did we learn from that session?

I learned that we should coordinate the photo and video scenes before the actual shoot, and maybe even make a plan of what shots we will do on each location, in order to rule out the conflict between the photo and video.

Consequences of a New Year

slayerphoto — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 08:20:39 +0000

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.

Cactus V2s Modification

slayerphoto — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 19:36:50 +0000

After the last session I was really pissed off about my Cactus V2s trigger. Every time I moved the flash tripod my flash was falling down because the screw on the trigger was loose, I tried to tighten it up but it was no use, the plastic was rubbed off there and it slips down very easy. So I came up with this idea.

1. Drill a hole in the metal bracket 5mm in diameter.
2. Stick the screw in the whole and tighten the nut.
3. You are ready to fire !

So you have 2 holes to screw in, and you can change it any time you need. Pretty easy and fast to make.

Couples, Winter session II

slayerphoto — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 09:40:56 +0000

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.

DIY iPhone Macro Lens

slayerphoto — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 21:57:09 +0000

Some long time ago I saw a post on DIYphotography “Super Macro Your Cellphone Camera With A DVD Lens“, and I decided to try and make the same thing only with the laser pen I’ve got dusting around for quite a while. I made a step by step tutorial how to make a macro lens for iPhone or any other cellphone as well.

1. Get yourself a laser pen.

2. Screw the top off and get the lens out.

3. Put the lens on the cellphone camera lens and fix it on it, I used some office gum thing.

4. Go shoot some stuff.

You can see how close you can go with this little gadget.
