Sean, it looks as though you may be among the top photographers here that inspire others. You and Nate. And I am sure I am leaving others out too, but you and Nate have inspired me the most.
Sean - On my next trip south, (hopefully, this coming spring), I can picture seeingthis latest one of yours on a lighted billboard somewhere! [Y]
BogdanD - Nice photo! IMO, you are on the roadto great things ahead!

Nice one Sean!
Thanks to everyone for the kind words. It really means a lot. Since you guys can't seem to get enough of me *cough*, here's one I took today. :-)

I'm not sure that this is one of my best, but there's something about it I like--I just can't quite figure out what it is.
Might be the subject?
Is that a watch in your pocket?

What I sometimes do is place the strobe(s) outside windows diffused by a hanging piece of white fabric.

I may try a similar shot again sometime with a window or a blinds gobo instead to create an illusion of a "window". At the time I couldn't figure out how I could go about creating window shadows when I was bouncing off a big wall. I may just have to rip one of my blinds off my windows for that one [;)]
Experimenting with some new post processing techniques I picked up recently. If you are wondering, I'm on day 267 of a 365 day self-portrait project, thus the copious amounts of self portraits [:P] It's essentially a photo diary that I started to for myself, and to keep my family abroad in the loops of my daily occurrence!

So I took the rest of my vacation today (or I would have lost it). So, after two hours of work this morning, I spent the rest of the day taking pictures and shopping--spending $300 on Band-Aids, cold medicine, pain reliever, and just about everything else that qualifies for Health Savings Account spending.
I set this shot up close to home as I simply wanted to do some further testing with the Genus 77mm ND Fader filter. So far I'm decently impressed by it. Focusing does get more difficult as you ramp up the opaqueness, but at least autofocus is possible under most conditions. I like how I was able to keep the ambient at bay (by underexposing it) while using a wide aperture and staying below my flash sync speed. I think this type of photography is something I will utilize a lot this summer--except I won't likely be pushing the ambient down quite as far.

You are most definitely putting that filter to good use! Very nice photo, Sean!!
Nothing but rain and fog here and all the bright white snow has washed away so I'm not getting any use out of mine so far! Hmmm, maybe tomorrow when I take a few photos of the polar plungers if it's not raining(crazy people jumping into Lake Michigan in their bathing suitsin 20 degree weather)!

I've tried this shot at least half a dozen different times, yet was never satisfied. However, I finally got the look I was going for.

I've got a better one now, you should have used it instead.

By the way, I like the shot. ;-)
Hi Sean,
Your recent head shot looks like it would make a stunning black & white, as well as being great as-is.
Paul
Hey all,
I have been working with my speedlites a lot lately and working to "perfect" my technique (long way to go still!!!). One of my methods is to try and recreate other shots I have seen and likefrom more experienced strobists. Once I get as close to the shot as possible I start to play around and see how the shot changes. It has really helped me understand and learn what works and what doesn't with light and poses.
I was fooling around with Sean’s head shot a few posts back. Almost there… need a bit more gear!
Sean you have been a big inspiration!
