Took these on a recent photo shoot with a good friend for my portfolio.


The Wonderful Wifey was holding a SB-900 mounted atop a painter's pole (thanks Sean for the idea), shot through an umbrella, fired via cybersyncs.

The Wonderful Wifey

Great nickname haha! But I guess it's true [A]


That's a great set of photos. I think the first one is the best(not looking technically at the photo). Good material for a portfolio. To be honest I have no clue of strobism [:P]


I also like the 2nd photo. Although I'm not sure what to think of the hair in front of the eye. The third one is my least favorite. I think she looks a bit sad and I personally think she's lit just a bit too light. But I must say I'm not really a fan of strobism and I'm probably very picky! [:P]

Nice one, I like the emotion/interaction. However it would be better if her eyes where opened just a little bit more. It isn't posed, so I guess they weren't really thinking about such things []

Great shots! My favorite is number 3, very nice warm colors and a good environment for her.

Canon Rebel XS with Canon EF 50mm f/1.8
@ f/1.8, 1/50, ISO 800


Quick shot of my uncle while we were killing time at the Navy Lodge. My cousin was saying she hated his hair, so he made it worse. ;p Looks like Astro Boy now.

Canon 50D with Tamron SP AF11-18mm F/4.5-5.6 Di-II LD @ f/5.6, ISO 100, 1/200 sec, 11mm


Canon 430EXII shot thru @ 1/4 power, Yongnuo YN460 bare subject right @ 1/8? power, and Kodak P20 flash bare subject left @ 1/8?. I need to start writing these things down! hah


Finally not one of me all the time! hahaha [:P]


Had a random, but totally fun shoot with two friends today. I discovered that one of my friends was REALLY REALLY into photography like I am. I thought she was into photography, but not that into it. So we set up a day to just shoot and exchange ideas. This is one of the results of that shoot. This is my friend Bunyi. I called him that morning to see if he was free because he is always a good model/subject. Fortunately he was in the area and would be free just when Gayle and I would be ready to go.


We shot at a great graffiti location I know in Placentia. To my GREAT dismay when we talked over to the location from our cars we found out that they had recently painted over all the graffiti. The walls here (between to industrial buildings) were COVERED in graffiti. From head to toe and not a spot left unsprayed. After searching the entire area (at least a few football fields long) we could only find two or three good tags to use as a background.


I really wanted to pull the colors and texture out of the wall. I hope I did that.


So yeah that's all folks! Buh bye now!
