Beaching it...

Enjoying some time off with family for a couple of weeks. Last week with the big family group, this week, just the wife and kids with one extra guest.

We were inspired by our cousin Kevin to shoot this photo of John hitting a golf ball into the ocean. This was shot as the sun was about to set on the last night of our family week. We set up a couple of strobes on light stands and under exposed the ambient by a stop or two. Has a real cool look to it I think.

Strobist Boot Camp II: Assignment #2

OK, so I think it is down to these two for my SBC2ASSIGN2 submission. This was a lot of fun, and was more challenging than I originally thought it would be. I decided on Sushi because, well, I like sushi. It is also readily available at our local Publix stores so I didn't have to go for restautant take out on a Friday afternoon.

This project also had the added benefit of supplying an early evening munchies after the shoot was done.





Here are a couple of others that I shot, but probably will not use.

Strobist Boot Camp II: Assignment #2

David Hobby has announced the second strobist boot camp assignment. This one is all about food. Make a photograph of a gastronomic delight. Not sure I'm going to have time to participate, maybe I'll recreate the martini shot that I am using for my business card, we'll see.



There are already some pretty cool entries that you can see with this search.

I think lighting for this assignment should be fairly straight forward, the key in my mind will be the styling and presentation.

Full details from the Strobist at the link below.

::Update::

Here is a concept I'm working on...



The finished image will be something other than eggs. I'm thinking of something that goes with hot wine. mmm.
