Strobe
Photo of the Week 8/24/2011
I actually brought this back from a shoot I did for some food a friend was making. These were the most amazing cookies, and I felt they deserved a little touch up some more to give a better color temp. I’m by far my worst critic, especially when it comes to lighting, color, temp, etc. I’m hoping the next...
Photo of the Week 8/17/2011
I wanted to re-post this from a shoot I did several months ago. I really like this image on many levels, not the least that it’s a good friend of mine. We found this incredible warehouse that had great graffiti inside, which made for some pretty good shooting. Of course, we were shooting in pitch black conditions because they...

Just a sample product shot gone abstract for some tennis balls.
Ice Water Splash
Ever since I got some new flash triggers, all I’ve been doing is experimenting with whatever thing I can freeze in time. Last night happened to be water, one of the greatest things that can be photographed in my opinion. The setup involved two strobes, my shower, water running from the shower head (which gives the back blurred dots,...
Apple Splash
I recently had a chance to experiment with doing some splash shots to try and capture some “frozen” water moments. The apple happened to be the best subject I could find, and maybe the most refreshing. These images are the result, with the final shot below.
Tour of California 2011, Team Cars
This is a bonus, since I had the opportunity to capture some shots of the team cars from the Tour. I tried to get every last car that came by, though I’m certain I missed one or two.
Tour of California 2011, Stage 3
Continued coverage of the Tour ends in Modesto today. The weather is horrible, with lots of wind, rain, and road spray. This brings me back to my own cycling days with impossible conditions, and the only thing you can think of is sitting in a comfy chair, feet up, drinking hot chocolate. Too bad these guys won’t be getting...
Tour of California 2011, Stage 2
The Tour of California 2011 has begun even with a cancelled first stage. The tour lasts until the 22nd of May, and all shots for the stages I can get I’ll post up here. Stage 2 shots are up, stage 3 will start tomorrow in Auburn, and ending in Modesto. The subsequent stages may or may not make it....
Giro Pneumo Commercial Shoot
As you may have seen one of my images I created for a demo Giro branded helmet, the goal and emphasis was on a stark contrasty black & white image to show a sleek, raw feeling that a customer may relate to, with the brand. The end result gives the appearance of a stage effect, helmet off center, with...

This tree is unique enough that I felt it deserved some editing love! Single strobe gelled.
Chevy Cobolt Interior
Continuing with the theme for a “Making Of” article, I wanted to discuss some of the technical efforts taken for the image created for the Chevy Cobolt picture. This was a composition based on the theme for a studio look to the shoot, shot on location with a portable kit. The end result focussed on users viewing the car...
