The Next Step...

The modeling light shining on the models face; a fine profile shot. With the borrowed Canon 70-200mm f2.8 IS II L mounted on my camera, I decided to snap up a shot just to see what the image looked like through the camera with its smaller dynamic range.
Camera Model : Canon EOS 7D
Shooting Date/Time : 08/03/2011 14:12:55 PM
Tv(Shutter Speed) : 1/250
Av(Aperture Value) : f2.8
Metering Mode : Spot
ISO Speed : 1600
Lens : EF 70-200mm f2.8 II IS L
Focal Length : 125mm

The light source was from a beauty dish about 45cms away at a 60’ angle on the left of the model. This angle is the reason for this rather harsh light fall off (transition from light to dark) when viewed from this angle while the quality of light the beauty dish creates results in this rather contrasty look to the image. Love it.

A shot of the setup with Gregory Heisler taking a light reading with a light meter which comes to why the title of this blog post is 'The Next Step' which is what his workshop at GPP2011 (organized by Gulf Photo Plus) is called. I was assisting at the event yet again (blog post long over due) and somewhere in the middle I managed to sneak into Gregory Heisler's class. More on that later.

A must for most photography hobbyist in the UAE, the FotoWeekend is back. If you want to learn more about potraiture, it doesn't get better then Bobbi Lane while anything photoshop, David Nightingale is the person for you. Haven't seen the other three photographers (Bert Stephani, Carol Dragon, Martin Prihoda)  before so can't really comment on them though if they're in the line up, I'm sure they'll be fabolous. In fact, I'll be at this event assisting one of them. Anyway for more information, click here

I'm unable to sleep so decided to make another blog post before hitting the bed again as I've anyway got a huge backlog of pictures to post here.

So here's another series of shots from the desert trip during the Gulf photo plus 2010 event.

GPP Desert trip shots #1

So last month I was assisting David Nightingale at Gulf photo plus 2010 event. Here are some pictures taken on the the 3rd of march in the desert(somewhere between the Al Ain-Dubai and Hatta-Dubai road) that was part of our landscape photography class field trip. So it was a free safari ride for me and an opportunity to take pictures in the middle of no where, something I haven't done before. I had sand all over my body and my camera but it was still a lot of fun.

Faces of the Radio

I was taking part in the Gulf Photo Plus 'Faces for the Radio' competition. I was able to upload one picture but failed to upload the next two as surprisingly the competition closed earlier than specified. So here I am posting them here.... (the first one is the one that got uploaded on GPP)





I have no explanation for why I made them look like stamps, just an idea that popped into my head.
