Megan Senior ~ The Fall

just getting a chance to post some new seniors shots i took from the fall..

lighting was Elinchrom quadra with deep octa... about 5 feet camera left @ about 3.5 - 4 power on the Elinchrom scale still haven't needed to fire off a full power shot on it yet with the deep octa..

had to use a ND filter to get my camera to sync up with this bright sunny condition

Molly Model ~ The Red Brick Road

Molly Model ~ The Red Brick Road

this was a fun shoot for molly, the model that started my career.. she was photographed by both Myself and Ryan O Hicks that night.. oh so long ago..

this was the night Ryan O Hicks used the radio poppers for the first time i think..

here is the video i did for Ryan O Hicks shot..
www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=394941338356

and after wards, i wanted to do just one shot for me...

this shot was lighted by the radio poppers px system in a westcott 28x28 box.. boomed by Nick..

the cross red lighting was gelled on a 580EXII @ 1/32 power i think..

being it was pitch dark, i always find some ambient light to balance the photo out..

the westcott was boomed about 6-8 feet camera right 8 feet or so up..

Cayenne Turbo

The 1st generation Cayenne Turbo had 450 horsepower (340 kW), and accelerated from 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 5.3 seconds. A Turbo S version was built in 2006 to compete with the Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG. The Cayenne Turbo S included a low-range case, a locking differential, and the height-adjustable, off-road suspension also standard on the regular Turbo model. It was powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.5-liter V8 that produced 520 bhp (390 kW) and 700 N·m (520 lb·ft) of torque. Acceleration from 0–60 mph (96 km/h) was 5.0 seconds and the top speed was 171 miles per hour. It featured a 6-speed automatic Tiptronic transmission.
A new Turbo was revealed at the 2008 Beijing auto show. It received 50 hp (37 kW) more power, and now accelerated from 0–60 mph (96 km/h) in 4.9 seconds. Also revealed with the new Turbo was a new 550 horsepower (410 kW) Turbo S. Acceleration from 0–60 mph is 4.7 seconds and has optional ceramic composite brakes.

this SUV sounded great as it looked too..

congrats to the newlyweds..

Kate and Patrick ~ Blurry Love

Kate and Patrick's recent wedding shot..

i tell you this shot was crazy difficult to get..

first it was super windy, cold, and we didn't have a great background ... but the team looked around to find this cool fence and we all agreed to do a shot infront of it..

the maid of honor (Gillian) was just out of frame camera right holding up the veil and releasing it on que..

we did about 4 times to get shot..

give kate credit.. i swear it felt like 10 degrees outside with the 20 mph winds

sorry i haven't had time to post anything..

in between weddings right now and working with a contractor on getting a new home right now.. it is taking so much of my time..

but the theme on this one is great.. nina going green because the lighting on this was all solar powered.. thus not using anything other than that.. pretty simple eh?

Lindsey can make any shot look great, but add the balcony and her amazing Veil, things just mesh perfectly..
