Re: [GALLERY] Reaper Man's Photography
Welp, this is my friend Emily, a fellow photo major at SCAD, she's promised to teach me to shoot models, because I currently feel very uncomfortable directing shots. This one, is actually somewhat candid, because she posed and challenged me to tell her what to do, instead I joked around and got this look from her. I think it describes her pretty well.

Have you done a nude photography course?
I "demoed" a class where they showed off a whole bunch of different photography, drawing, and 3D modeling classes at a college. It was a four day thing, and on the third day they had a 3-4 hour long nude photography session where we took turns coordinating the model and all shooting simultaneously.
It pretty much got rid of all my inhibitions about asking people for photos or poses and such. However I'm pretty sure the model we were shooting was fairly intimidated by the 30+ teenagers with DSLR's surrounding her and giving orders, heh. You should try one :)

Well, I finally caved and started using Lightroom, messing around with split toning.

Testing out the 70-200 f/2.8 I rented. My god I love this lens. Also, look at that bunny backpack, look how pink it is, goddamn.

Windows is overrated, here is your typical mac user. (Oh just feel the terrible pun, that's right, there's no escape, it's too late - you read it already.)
Shut up, I was just looking for an excuse to try out this 70-200 f/2.8 that I rented, and I saw this guy.

Doesn't look like much of a play ground to me. (That's probably because it's to the left, Reaper you idiot.)

This shot was an interesting fluke. My 50mm f/1.8 is very susceptible to flare, so because of the late afternoon sun just of the frame, there was this huge lens flare that this man just wandered into. Initially, I had only wanted to have his face obscured by the branch, just for fun, but then I noticed after the shot that he was encompassed by lens flare.

Sharpness, argh. How are you liking lightroom?

I really like it, now that I've started organizing things into much smaller catalogs, things are running much more smoothly. I still wish they would integrate GPU acceleration.

Here is, or will be photos from a photo essay I am working on for my final project in black and white tecnique. I'm limited to 10 prints, so I hope to tell James' story in 10 photos.
James plays the saxophone on River Street and in the squares of Savannah after quitting the restaurant business. He hopes to make his way as a musician.

Note: this is a straight negative scan, not a final print. The final print will be better.
James lives by choice in a tent in his sister's backyard. He says that his sister's kids are too loud early in the morning and always woke him up when he stayed in the guest room.
More to come.. I have to make more prints and take more photos.

Re: [GALLERY] Reaper Man's Photography
Then again it might just be the 70-200 f/2.8 lens =D

That photo I just posted was taken with a 50mm f/1.4 Super-Multicoated Takumar on a Pentax Spotmatic II on Ilford HP5+ 400 film, no 70-200 f/2.8 here buddy.
