Another excellent interview by Marc Silber with German Landscape and wildlife photographer Florian Schulz. The images Florian turns out are truly inspiring to me. the way he stalks his shots sometimes taking days, weeks or months of revisiting locations until he comes away with shots he is proud of is what high quality photography is all about. He has a dedication to his craft and it definitely shows in his photos. You will not be disappointed after watching this video so sit back, relax and absorb. Peace.

What's In The Bag w/ Jim McHugh- Fine Art photographer needs instant grat
Do yourself a favor and check out this phenomenal photographer, Jim McHugh as he discusses his process for capturing his images. I was glued to this video as he uses Graflex 4X5 view cameras with Polaroids. This is photography at it's essence. I have said many times that the resurgence of film will be rapid and drastic as people move from the instant gratification of digital to the center of the art form again. I love shooting film and digital but the nostalgia associated with my film work is a pure love and respect for the medium. This will be a real treat. There are three parts to this interview please watch them all.

Wow two posts for today I must really have nothing better to do but I really needed to pass this on to you. I get a news feed from The Strobist and he turned me onto this video that is almost one hours worth of excellent learning about a on location commercial shoot that could normally cost you but is provided for free by Photoshelter. Photoshelter has some great learning for free so check em out and enjoy this excellent on location lighting session. Guess I really really really need an Elinchrom 74" Octa now. Of course a slew of Profoto 7b's wouldn't hurt either. Enjoy and stay sexy ya'll.
Hello out there in the vast wasteland of the internet. I was doing some research on what kind of video experience I could gain from DSLR for additional offering to my clients and came across some other fantastic videos. I am a Nikon shooter by choice so I am particularly interested in what a Nikon can do for me and am quite impressed. I am not looking to go into the videography business but do believe the ability to capture short high def video clips has a lot of great potential for not only journalism but all of the other photography disciplines I partake in. So I thought I would post some of those videos here on the blog for you to enjoy. These are amazing videos generated by very talented creatives and I can only hope to aspire to this level of accomplishment. So sit back and enjoy the shows. Till next time stay sexy!
This first video is by Vincent Munier and is titled Summer Variations. Amazing wildlife coverage from this talented photog. This video was shot on the Nikon D3s
This next video is from Bill Frakes and is titled All Over Down Under. This video was shot
completely on the Nikon D3s and I think you will agree will take your breath away.
This final video is by the talented Ami Vitale and is titled Mirages. This video was shot
completely on the Nikon D300s and is amazing also on it's execution and craftsmanship.

Nocturne by Vincent Laforet
This is an absolutely incredible show of the capabilities of the modern DSLR when it comes to video reproduction. I am an avid Nikon shooter but I have to admit that Canon is at the head of this game with their 5D Mark II and the new 7D. Their 1080p movies although without the feel of cinema film are fantastic when put together as well as Vincent Laforet does. This video is all available light with no supplementary lighting at all. Also the video was shot at 6400 ISO and if you can find any noise I think it is negligible. So sit back and enjoy.

Walk in The Park
Had a great day today hanging out with the photoministry from my church. Glad to see all those that could make it and hope those who could not are doing great. Also had a great time hanging out with my good friend Dan and then going to Oggi's for a little after the photo shoot chow and adult beverage. It was a great day for some interesting photos. The sky was overcast badly for much of the morning and we even got a few sprinkles here and there however, when I see those gloomy skies I immediately think of HDR. HDR just seems capable of making a low contrast, dreary sky into something magical. I am always blown away by the way the processing can bring the best together and yield some mind blowing images. I hope you enjoy the pics, they were rushed a bit and I tried a few new tweaks here and there. For anyone who is wondering, I start my workflow in Lightroom (Currently 2 until the full release of 3 comes out). I then select the photos for processing and export to Photomatix then it is back intoLightroom (I love the Photomatix - Lightroom integration). After the import back intoLightroom it is off to Photoshop where the final curves adjustments, levels adjustments, masking and noise reduction (Noiseware by Imagenomic <----- Love this does an awesome job) is completed. Of course Photoshop (CS4 by the way) is tightly integrated with Lightroom so the pics are saved right back into Lightroom. Well that about sums up my workflow. Honestly most of my wedding, event, corporate etc. etc. workflow can be easily handled in Lightroom but HDR requires a lot more finesse to get a final product I am happy with. Well gotta go gonna loose an hour of sleep tonight from some reason or other. Till I blog again you stay sexy.
