Fall Shoot… http://www.ghaygood.com/blog/2008/12/23/remember-kris-fall-shoot/ http://www.ghaygood.com/blog/2008/12/23/remember-kris-fall-shoot/#comments Tue, 23 Dec 2008 17:07:14 +0000 admin http://www.ghaygood.com/blog/?p=107 I shot Kris last summer for the first time Here. The shoot was great so he called me back during the fall for this shoot. Perfect timing, The leaves on the trees had all turned colors, plus there were a lot that had already fallen to the ground. These were taken in a big park in Trenton, NJ. We did a bunch of different studio shots as well but they aren’t done yet…

His name was Kyle. Kyle heard about me thru Yaya. Kyle has a friend named Kris. They needed some last minute pictures because their previous photog fell thru (whoever he was…thank you for passing off your business.)

Photographer Tip of the Day: Don’t flake on your appointments. Remember customers are spending their hard-earned money on YOU! When you dont feel like showing up to a shoot or making a courtesy call, there are photographers that will…

OK back to Kris…

I got the email thursday and had the shoot on friday. And they needed prints by Saturday 6am. I’m glad I invested in my Canon Pixma Pro 9000. Ritz camera photos just don’t cut it any more. They needed this pics for a professional modeling portfolio, you can’t go in there with copy and pasted pics from your myspace page on 8.5 x 11 printer paper.  I dont usually print myself but this was an emergency situation.

Kyle took some pics and rolled out cause he had people waiting on him back at the barbershop. lol ( he was at the studio over an hour )

Kris was good for his first big shoot. He can handle anything being that he’s served his country in Iraq.

We shot a some indoors then went out to Philly for some location pics. It was hot-outside and inside. I just bought 2 more Alienbees so my studio heats up alot faster. I need another A/C just for that room.

Here go some of the pics from the shoot.

Outside pics were crazy. I had bought a couple of ND Filters from B and H on my day date to NYC last Thursday. They helped lower my f stop for a better depth of field while in bright sunlight. It pretty much makes a f/8 turn into f/2.8. Yummy. So here are my first shots with the filters. I got one for my 50mm 1.4 and one for the 70-200mm 2.8 and 17-35mm 2.8.
Ii also brought out the Vegabond II with 1 Alienbee AB800 and a 22″ Beauty Dish.
something like this:

And the final results looked like this:

The difference between f7.1 and f1.4. I forgot I had the filter on and I was shooting natural light now so I was like lets stop it down and see how it comes out. I rarely shoot at f1.4 because the focal plane is so small its hard to get anything in focus, resulting in “soft” images.
