Selfportrait

Luis — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 01:21:40 +0000

Just playing a little bit with the camera, I got some self-portrait. All of them were done in a single shot. It is not photoshop cloning. The only post-process that was done was for color adjustment and cropping; Lightroom was use for the post-processing.

I just use a dark studio.
50 mm lens
Long exposition 30 seconds, and
Small aperture f11 or f22
And remote trigger fire the strobes 2, 3 or 4 times.

I was just fun.

Winter in studio

Luis — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 05:42:33 +0000

Around middle of December, I had the opportunity of work with two models, Jamie T and Kristin P from Lansing and Grand Blanc, MI respectively.

One of the looks that we tried was related to Winter; we had fun, because the outfit was not really for winter as you could see on the following pictures. All were done using a 50 mm lens only.

Portrait of Jamie

Both models having fun.

As you could see it was not really cold inside the studio, we could tried few interesting poses. However outside winter was really cold as usual at Ann Arbor, MI

Nifty Fifty Ann Arbor Downtown Exploration

Luis — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 20:46:33 +0000

A flickr friend, Charlie Naebeck, invited flickr member and friends to have a photo-walk on Ann Arbor Downtown. The basic idea was take pictures using only 50 mm lens and ambient light. That Friday (August 28th) was raining almost the whole day, then very few people came; actually we were only three. We were very lucky the rain stopped few minutes we started walking (~6:30 p.m.).

We had a lot of fun and here I show a sample of portraits that I got from my model #1, my daughter. More pictures are on my flickr page.

Here is a Mariana’s picture on a small hallway all covered by graffiti. It was with very few ambient light; ISO 1600 was necessary.

And this other picture was taken on the roof of a parking structure. The light here was a lot better.
