Amanda

Here's a photo shoot I did with my girl friend. I used two huge lights called an octobank. They are each 8ft wide and that is how I got the light to be so soft and wrap around her face.

Polaroid Transfer

These are the same two images just with a different effect on them. This is a Polaroid transfer. I love the colors and the texture it gives it.

infrared

I took these photos out in boulder CO, on a hike. I took them knowing that I would put some type of effect on them. I love how the infrared makes the rooks look like they are glowing.

I shot this for my adv. lighting class. The assignment was Texture and Smooth. For the pineapple I used a couple of strobes with grid spots on them to bring out the rough texture. For the elephant I used a big soft box and a kicker card to get a good highlight on the front of the elephant and also a back round light.

Panorama cont..

Here are two more panoramas from the same series. They were shot at Keystone also. The first one is the same as the very first image but it is not stitched together it is a Gestalt panorama.

Panorama

Here is a panorama that I made at Keystone Ski Resort for my printing class. There is a lot going on in this picture and it is huge, 4ft long. If you click on the picture you can bring it up to full size and see a lot more of the detail. This image is a HDR (High Dynamic Range) image, which means that it is a combination of multiple images with different exposures.For this picture I used 40 images to create this one panorama. This gives you a huge tonal range. By the way this Print is for sale.

I took these two photos for my lighting class final.

Here's me through a fish eye lens. I love the effect of the fish eye lens. To achieve the effect that I wanted I had to use a really long exposure (25 sec)
and my Nikon SB-800 flash. After playing with the exposure times and flash levels I was ready for the final shot. I triggered the shutter of my camera and had my girl friend hold my flash and set it off when I moved to the three different locations. After doing this 4 or 5 times I achieved the
effect that I was looking for. One tip I learned when using a fish eye lens is to get a close to your subject a possible. In this picture when I was in the middle spot I was about 2 or 3 inches from the lens and on the sides about a 1ft. So get as close as possible If you want to have a good main subject in the frame.
