BAROQUE: COMING TO A HOME NEAR YOU!
thu. june 25, 2009   |  

HAPPY BLAST DAY!!

If you don't have your email yet with the sale of our BEST SELLING BAROQUE COVER, you should have it shortly! Don't live in the USA? You can go buy from Adorama, our partner who is participating in this months' sale!!

This months' photo is one that Michael Norwood shot of me shooting on the beach wearing Baroque. Michael and I often take turns second shooting for each other on days that we don't have our own weddings, which is an added little bonus for some of our clients! I thought it would be fun to share what I was shooting while Michael snagged that shot of me here today!

Let me just say that I had an easy job that day--this couple was gorgeous, easy to work with, and the light was perfect. Perfect light to me is that golden light about half an hour before the time of sunset on the beach, when the whole world looks warm and glowy.

It absolutely KILLS me when I see a photographer shooting on the beach in this light and using a flash or reflector. The point of lighting devices is to help create the very light that is ALREADY EXISTING NATURALLY at that time, and I feel that my responsibility is to capture it, not interfere with it. Here's a few shots from that session:


 

No reflector here, Just a little "S" curve in photoshop to bring up their faces which were a little dark since I exposed more for the light in the background

This one was processed with the Boutwells Totally Rad Action "Pool Party" at about 45%
 

My absolute, hands down favorite, also processed with theTotally Rad Action "Pool Party" at about 25%
 

All of these images were shot with my 50 1.2 at 1.2. I also shot this particular session RAW. Shooting RAW usually infuriates me because the camera simply cannot keep up with me and read the info to the cards as fast as I shoot it. Ever since I discovered cards, I do not have that issue. Hoodman cards are more $$$ than other cards, but they have NEVER had one fail. There is no amount too expensive for that kind of security.
