Jewelry, Tethered, Photography

CufflinksThe last couple of days I`ve been working on a few test shots for some product photography. More specifically, jewelry. I was inspired to start working on this after attending a Photoshop Seminar on portrait photography. I know, how does portrait photography inspire you to shoot product? Well, it doesn’t, it just inspired me to shoot.
PendantThese pictures were all shot tethered from my D3 to my laptop and imported straight in to Lightroom so that I could touch them up immediately. I love it.

To see more pictures that I took, visit my Facebook Page or my Flickr Photostream.

Another 4×5 Experiment

Sooke RiverThese are the “lost” images that I was referencing on twitter the other day. I’m not sure exactly what happened, but they eventually made it home. The thing is, I loaded the film in hopes of shooting it in the summer of 2010. I then traveled down to Australia and New Zealand without the film, came home, made it through the rest of winter and then rediscovered it. I couldn’t remember what I had loaded. ISO, film type, colour, black and white, negative, positive, none of it was ringing a bell. Since I only had 2 speeds of film I averaged that it would be about 300 ISO and started my guessing there. You see, with my 4×5 camera that I built out of wood, I don’t know quite what the field of view is. So I have to guess. I do know that the aperture is somewhere around f/216. I also know that my light meter works, so I can tell what the exposure time will be at f/16. Taking that into account, I use this handy chart that I made to calculate my exposure time for the pinhole.

Tasty Tuesday #20

A little late on this weeks Tasty Tuesday. I just got a new coffee grinder for my Espresso machine on my birthday and remembered when I did some shooting at a local coffee shop.

Tasty Tuesday #19

This Tasty Tuesday is from a very long time ago when we chopped a few trees down for some power poles. This was shot on film using my mom’s old camera and I found the film about a year ago. I scanned the pictures and then forgot about them again until recently when I found them on my hard drive.

Bouldering

Reese on the Jardines BouldersOne thing that I enjoy doing in my spare time is to go climbing. When I was in New Zealand, my girlfriend and I stayed with some friends who were really in to climbing. Almost every evening they would head out to the Jardines Boulders (just below The Remarkables mountains) for a couple of hours. The boulders were rocks that had fallen off the adjacent mountains and rolled in to a sheep paddock. You really had to watch your step while walking around. The sheep were everywhere.
Reese (pictured left) was working on this for quite a while. The crux being the third move, he’s pictured in the starting position and his first move is to reach up to the crack seen at the bottom of the picture. The second move is to get his legs out and the third is to get his other arm over. He did eventually send the route after a few attempts. If you climb, let me know. I’d love to hear your stories.

Editorial Photography

Textbooks define editorial photography as interpreting the facts of a magazine article in a creative way. For me, it is all about telling stories. Editorial photography should engage viewers and interact with them. It should prompt the audience to imagine how the story unfolds, who the person is, and how they can find out more. That’s partly what my little project called “Who Are You?” is all about. Using photography to tell the viewer a story. The story is you.
