We are back with another GOYA shootout for the crew. Ordering cialis online, Here was the challenge set before us today.

We had to go to a thrift store and spend no more than five dollars on whatever we wanted. We then had to incorporate whatever we purchased into a photo, cheapest tramadol in the world. We had 2.5 hours to complete the challenge.

Now it is your job to vote for your favorite. Today we had myself, business manager Sherri, studio manager Dan, intern Robin, and the ever so lovely and talented Meghan, ordering cialis online.

Cheers,
Zack.

Thanks to fellow GPP teacher, Chris Hurtt, for hooking us up with an aerial view of Dubai a few days ago. I was able to get this photo of the Burj Khalifa. Order soma from canada, It is the tallest building in the world stretching about half a mile in the sky. When you are on the ground you can tell that the thing is huge but to really grasp the scale you have to see it from the air. This image was shot at 1,500 feet, buy levitra overnight delivery. All of those buildings around it are your typical city sky scrapers. 40, 50, 60 story buildings, ordering phentermine. I think the Burj is 160 something stories.

Ok, now I have to get on the horn with Delta to see if we are going home today or tomorrow. I should be making this post from home. Online diazepam, Cheers,
Zack.

The surprise was A) we would have two subjects instead of one and B) Joe McNally would have a microphone and be giving live commentary as we were setting up a shot and shooting. Two people. David and I asked the same question... "Do they both have to be in the photo at the same time?" :)

No pressure.

So the photo above is what I came up with, buy phentermine without prescription. It was a great teaching exercise if anything and we all had a fun time with it. Yes.., cheap viagra online. there were video cameras and it will be online as soon as we have links to it. David and Joey will post their photos at some point I'm sure. Buy phentermine without prescription, Joey... well he threw us all a curve ball. :) Lastly... an official winner was never named so... IMHO the best shot was

Six days of non-stop teaching and the stress of having to perform to a packed auditorium has me worn out. I have two days of personal shooting to do now, buy phentermine without prescription. Can't wait to share more images from this trip. I have had such an amazing time here in Dubai. I love this city. Order zithromax online, Usedfilm Dubai. I don't hate the sound of that. :)

(for a higher quality version of this screencast view the source file here.)

Read below for a $10 discount code on Photo Mechanic. Diazepam prescription, In this screencast I walk you through my process from start to finish. I have recorded, encoded, uploaded, and ditched this project three times this weekend with the third attempt being my final. Workflow and post production is far from being the funnest and coolest part of our jobs. There is only so much you can say or do to make it the least bit interesting yet it is crucial to our day to day jobs. The more efficient we can be in post production the more time is added to our lives.

Please note that I am not the end all be all workflow guru, diazepam prescription. Far from it. I do what I do and it works for me. I'm sure many of you are going to leave some comments here teaching me a thing or three about workflow and how I might skim a few more minutes here or there off of my time working with my images. I welcome that. Diazepam prescription, Let this be a conversation about workflow instead of a teaching lesson coming from me.

I want to mention that the Lexar UDMA FW800 card reader I refer to in the video is currently on sale at B&H for $53.99.  That sale ends March 6th, discount soma. That is more than $20 off the retail price. Do yourself a favor and pick up a few of these. You can daisy chain up to four of them per firewire port, diazepam prescription. I avoided these for a long time due to the price point but now that I'm using them I don't know how I lived without them. I wish I would have bought them a long, long, time ago.

I also mention my tutorial on shooting on white seamless on this blog post. You can find the begining of that tutorial here if you have not already seen that. Diazepam prescription, Many of you asked on Twitter about my thoughts on LR 3, Aperture, and archiving. I can answer that quickly here. I have not really looked at LR 3 yet. I've read Kelby's ongoing posts about new features and I'm excited to see it once it goes public ... and ... a few months after that since there are always bugs to figure out once a large update is released, diazepam prescription. I'm too busy to test new software, deal with glitches, and throw up my hands to only go back to what I know and wait for the glitches to disappear. I am interested in the new Aperture 3.0 since it can sync libraries between multiple computers. Aperture has always been a resource hog though. Not that LR is anything but 100% efficient but I only have one editing machine I feel could make the most of Aperture and I'm not convinced that I need to convert from LR to Aperture just yet. Diazepam prescription, I know plenty of you use it and love it with a capital LOVE. I get that. Their brushes look far more intuitive than LR's brushes. I typically can not afford to jump from application to application when I'm not convinced it is what I need. I was happy in bridge until I sat in a two hour workshop covering LR. Once I saw what it was capable of I switched from Bridge to LR, diazepam prescription. Buy cialis, Maybe the same would happen if I attended an Aperture workshop.

As for archiving, I have decided that should be a post of its own.

For more information about the deeper features of Photo Mechanic, check out the great tutorials on PhotoMetaData.org.

I hope you enjoy this screencast more than I did making it. Diazepam prescription, :) Actually, it was a fun process until I watched the final, uploaded, ready to go versions before this and decided they were far, far, far too boring. I decided it needed 100% more hip hop and down tempo.  Side note - I'm now using Affix Music for my soundtrack needs. They are a new music licensing company who specialize in urban and electronic music. Their catalouge is growing and growing. Check them out, diazepam prescription. Would you all be interested in a discount code with them. Let me know and I'll see if I can swing one. They are an amazing service.

BTW - Caleb sat next to me on this one and he wants you to tell me in the comment section if it was boring or not. :)

Photo Mechanic Discount Code :: Diazepam prescription, All you have to do is ask.... I called the good folks at Camera Bits, makers of Photo Mechanic, and told them I was doing a screencast based on PM and asked if there was some sort of discount they could offer all of you. They were more than willing to give me a code that is good for $10 off the price. You get to pay less than I did. In the name of full disclosure... I'm not getting anything from Camera Bits, diazepam prescription. This is not an advertisement. I pay for my software.

Call 1 503 547 2800 or email (sales @ camerabits [dot] com) to order and use the code PMzarias. This code is only good for emailed and phoned in orders, dicount cialis. Diazepam prescription, They currently do not have a promo code box when simply ordering online. This code is good until March 15th, 2010.

Cheers,
Zack

PS - I know curves are a great way of dealing with exposure issues but at times, brightness and fill does the job for me. As with all things post production, there are 10 different ways to do the same thing. :).

The Setup :: Discount viagra, Last week we assembled a crew to help us on a three day shoot in an old abandoned mansion. I set one day aside for everyone on set to have time to grab some gear, grab a model, and shoot for themselves as payment for helping me on the other two days of shooting.  Knowing that competition can bring the best out in a person I decided we should have a shootout. I posted the images here on the blog and had you all vote.

Before shooting we decided to pick one word that we all had to shoot an image for. The first word that came up was "pain" but then someone said "fear" and we decided that would be a good one and off we went, discount viagra.  Each photographer could interpret that any way they wanted and what happened in the comments of the original blog post has been an interesting conversation of whether any of us actually shot an image that communicated fear.  I feel that some of you wanted far too literal of an interpretation. Fear can go a lot of ways. I think we all gravitated toward the "horror'ish" route based on the location we had to use but it doesn't have to be the ONLY way to interpret it. Discount viagra, More in the discussion.

The Results ::

The winner is... (after the jump)

Photographer B, Dave Martinez, won the GOYA shootout. He spanked us all with a total of 1,148 votes (45% of the total votes calculated). Dave wins a $50 gift certificate to B&H Photo.

When Dave emailed the image to me to put on the blog I knew immediately that his was going to be the winning shot, discount viagra. Dave said he worked on a number of different interpretations with the models but he felt that he wasn't getting the emotions out of them that he wanted. Part of this, Dave says, was his inexperience directing. Keep in mind that Dave was part of this crew because I met him at our Photo 101 course about six months ago. He's new to photography. Discount viagra, It's a great example of the student kicking the teacher's ass. Great job Dave.

During one of his first attempts of the day he turned around and saw that panel of glass and wondered what it would look like lit from behind. Since he didn't really feel he was getting the emotion he wanted from the models he turned to a more simplistic interpretation of the theme. He says he felt like he was copping out by going this route but at the end of the day, he felt it was a lot stronger than his other attempts. He shot a number of variations of this scene and felt the pulled back, wider shot worked best, discount viagra. Yes, the image is a cliché but it has a good spin on it by NOT cropping in tight to the hand. Again, when he emailed it to me my thought was it was the winner. It's just so simple and effective.

I really appreciate the fact that Dave recognized he was struggling with the direction of the models so he went a different route, kept it simple, and beat us all by a large margin.

The Discussion ::

Discount viagra, 2,500 votes have come in for the contest so, to some viewers, each photographer interpreted the word enough to illicit a vote. Some folks commented that they could not vote for any of them because they felt the word was never interpreted correctly. Let's talk about that, buy plavix cheap.

What is fear to you. There is the fear of death, pain, disease, etc. There is also the fear of not being smart enough, good enough, pretty enough, wealthy enough, discount viagra. Fear of taxes, kids getting in trouble, pregnancy, etc, etc, etc. Fear can go in a lot of directions. Here is what we were all thinking as we were shooting for this assignment.

I was really impressed with Luanne Dietz's interpretation. Discount viagra,  She is Photographer A. Her image is this one...

Luanne approached this theme by asking her subject, Mych, what he was fearful of. Mych responded that he is afraid of death so Luanne ran with that idea. Her approach was to create an image for the subject. She thought the rectangle box in the carpet on the landing could represent a casket, discount viagra. Add to that the creative framing of the broken spindle on the bannister as an implement of pain or destruction and I thought her interpretation was successful for what she was trying to achieve. I would like to see a little more direction given to Mych to create a pose that says "death" more than "sleep" but overall, good job.

Luanne says that if she had to do it again she would stay with the same concept but put more time into directing the subject to convey more of an emotion from him. She showed the image to Mych on the back of her camera and he couldn't even look at it so in that way Luanne was very successful in interpreting her subject's fear as a photo. Discount viagra,  She also feels that she would have worked with lighting a bit more instead of going with the available light.

Luanne's thought was to create something that wasn't completely obvious. She wanted to find a different way to convey fear than what you may stereotypically go to first as an idea of "fear".

In speaking with Luanne after the results have been tallied she made an excellent point that all of us forgot to think about the viewer in some ways.  You see, all of us had three days in this place and it was very creepy and strange. There were strange sights, sounds, smells, things, rooms, etc, discount viagra. Our experience being inside of the place for a number of days probably insulated us from thinking about how viewers who have never been in this old mansion might feel.  Good point Luanne.

Photographer D is Megan Case. She shot this image...

Discount viagra, Megan says that anytime she has a nightmare it is of someone chasing her trying to harm her. She decided it would be kind of funny to go with a B Movie poster idea. What's interesting is that some folks commented that they didn't like this image because it looked like a B Movie poster. So in some ways, Diazepam prescription, she was totally successful with her idea.  I would like to see the model only casting one shadow on the wall. That would mean spending more time feathering the light creating the shadow off of her enough to get rid of the second shadow but still cast the shadow of the arm, discount viagra. That arm belongs to her super awesome husband, Rob (AKA Scrim Bitch).

Megan says that if she had this assignment to do again she would have made an image that was more vague in context and subject so that it could have more of an open interpretation by viewers of the photo. That's probably an aspect to Dave's winning shot that helped him win this contest.

Photographer E was our business manager, Sherri.

Discount viagra, Sherri wanted to use the elements of some sort of disaster combined with loneliness. Fear of being alone. Fear of what ever crazy predicament is going on. Etc. Sherri says that if she were to do it again she would stay with the same concept but spend more time directing the subject in order to convey the feeling better. In Sherri's defense, she was in charge of a lot of logistics and did not have much time to get something thrown together, discount viagra.

Photographer F is our new studio manager, Dan Depew. Dan is currently in Bangkok so I have not had a chance to talk to him about his shot. His shot was this one...

She's holding a telephone handset FWIW if you didn't pick up on that before. Discount viagra, Lastly, I was photographer C with this image...

I shot four specific set ups for the concept. Two of them involved screaming. One of them involved being trapped. And finally the image above. It started out as another "screaming" attempt but Bonnie, the model in the photo, was such a sweet girl that getting fear out of her was nearly impossible to do, discount viagra. She would scream and then start laughing. It was funny. So, I had to take it a different direction and I decided to go in a horror movie direction with fear being more of an emotion I would want the viewer to feel than the subject to convey. I had directed her through a number of emotions and this one translated as the most believable. Discount viagra, I then liked more of a quiet solitude of the trapped mirror image. I'm still not sure if I made the right decision to lighten her eyes in the main part of the shot.

If I had to do it over again I would have gone darker and dirtier, and like Megan Case said, more vague as to subject matter so that it could be interpreted differently for different people.  I am happy with my image above and for all of the images I shot that day I feel this is my best one. To do it all over again I would go a different direction though yet I do stand by my photo and I do not regret my editing choice for this shootout.

The common thing that ALL of us struggled with.., discount viagra. directing our subjects. As a photographer you are also a director. It's a learned skill. If you don't like working with people or if you find yourself to be very shy, then portrait photography is going to be a challenge for you. Discount viagra, So...

I figure there are three audiences to speak to with your photographs.

A) Your subject / client

B) Yourself

C) Anonymous viewers of your work

I specifically did not want to put interpretations into the original blog post, alprazolam online cheap. I suppose the most successful photographs out there are the ones that can speak to all three audiences at one time. The reason I did not want to explain any of these photos is to see how they ranked without interpretation. I feel as though a photograph should stand on it's own without explanation, discount viagra. Explanations can also change the way the viewer sees the image. It can sway your idea or emotion of the image. We don't always get the opportunity to explain our work so we have to work on making sure it stands on it's own.

If you are still with us here, do any of these explanations sway the way you voted. Discount viagra, If you didn't think "fear" the first time around do you think that now. After all this talking do you have a different perspective on this set of images or does it support your original thoughts and emotions about the images.

Given an old abandoned mansion where do you think you may have taken this assignment.

Thanks for being a part of it everyone.

Cheers,
Zack.

I'm excited to be part of Gulf Photo Plus Buy viagra online, again this year. I could go on and on and on about the event.  It's simply one of the most unique series of workshops I've seen. There are six solid days of workshops that go from morning 'till night with lots of special events.

The image above is part of a project I'll be showing for the first time and it will only be shown as prints this year.  There will be a showing of this work later this year in Atlanta, buy viagra online.

Normally I would give you all of the details about the conference and what to do in Dubai but David Hobby has done it for me.  :)

For those of you in Europe, levitra online stores, Northern Africa, the Middle East, or Asia, this is a must attend photography event. I'm equally excited and nervous about an intensive two day, Buy viagra online, on location, class that I'll be teaching. No lecture. Buy viagra online, No power point presentation. Just get on a bus and shoot for two days. It's going to kick my butt. In addition to this class I'll be teaching a few OneLight's and a one day Photo 101 class.

We had so much fun with the last GOYA shootout Lasix prices, that we are back with another one.  Here's the rundown...

We rented the Candler Mansion last week for three days of personal shooting. This personal project required a lot more resources than my old OneLight minimalist self could handle so we called on a number of people to come in and help with this project. We set one day aside for all of us to grab some gear and shoot anything we wanted. We had an amazing team assembled of photographers, models, hair, make-up, and wardrobe on hand, lasix prices. At the start of the day we chose one word that we had to shoot an image for. The word chosen was "fear", pharmacy levitra. Six photographers worked on their take of "Fear" and now you, our wonderful blog readers, are going to let us know who did the best job capturing the theme of "fear."

Voting is open until midnight EST, Friday Feb. 5th. Lasix prices, You can vote one time per day per IP address. Soma online cheap, The identities of the photographers and the photo they took will be revealed when we release the results on Saturday.

Here we go...

Here is a drill down of the images for easy reference...

Please use the following poll box to vote.

Feel free to critique us in the comments.

Did you click on the links. Expensive aren't they, buy viagra online. Not to rent.

Silk's are great because they cut ambient light, you can blow flash into them, you can use them as background material, they look cool blowing around in videos, etc, etc, Lowest price cialis, etc.  Octa's are cool because you can blow flash into them, buy viagra online. (crickets) No etc, etc, etc. after talking about big octa's. Don't get me wrong, octabanks are amazing light modifiers.  LOVE them. Buy viagra online,  But if you need something that is just as much a pain in the a$$ to set up, sand bag, and move around as a large octa is, then consider using a silk.  I prefer the 12x12' as it is really versatile at that size. I think we are paying about $25 a day to rent two silks.  That's an affordable solution to a modifier that can do a number of things.

I can't show the goods from today's shoot but here is one that I really like from today showing the silk flying in the air like it just don't care, cheap acomplia online.

Meg was in Little Five Points to purchase some props and wardrobe for a shoot we have next week. I met her there and walked around recording sounds of cars, people, etc, order cialis online. Someone called out to me;

"What in the hell is that thing. Zoloft online stores, Is that a gun or something?"

The ME-67 is about 14 inches long and is kind of menacing looking in the dark. Black Rob (as he's known on the streets) was just making sure nothing crazy was about to go down. He started asking me about recording equipment and I started asking about his life. Order cialis online, I recorded Rob without the aid of headphones. I scurried out of the studio too quickly today and left my headphones behind. Always a great thing to do when trying to learn how to capture audio. Luckily the Edirol recorder has a nice level readout so I just kept my eye on that while recording.

I came home needing some music to lay under the recording I had made, discount viagra. Meg disappeared into Loretta (her recording studio) to create an original song just for me, order cialis online. She reappeared at 5am. I had cut all the parts out of the recording that I wanted and got to work in Apple's Soundtrack Pro. This is the first time I've used the program and it was the first time Meg used ProTools.  We've both been sliding down a steep learning curve.  

I'm sure you audio guys and gals would have some opinions on this. Order cialis online, I would love to hear them.

Listen to the final project for the day. 

Cheers,
Zack.
