Not much going on, I have a mothers day portrait shoot at Washington Oaks. I'm really looking forward to that. Last weekend I "attended" a 3 day seminar on creative live, Zack Arias was the instructor on Friday he taught basic stuff: ISO, shutter speed, aperture, and how they all dance together to form a good exposure. About half way in we started with lighting for various style portraits. Technical difficulties caused me to have to quit watching before it was over. I learned so much, I can't wait to put some light on some people and make them look good! With the information and education I've received from Joe Mcnally, Bambi Cantrell, and Zack Arias, I'm stoked to go do it. I also have a practice session set up with a friend, She has agreed to let me shoot her for a couple hours Thursday morning, great light, beach, and nature scenes and an amazing model. LIGHT IT UP!The last time i shot her I shot a head shot that came out really well, that pic is on the blog a couple posts back.
I was looking through earlier blog posts thinking I had talked about Creative Live but I haven't, so I'm going to fix that right now. Creative live is something started by Chase Jarvis. He brings in instructors from the creative world, Photographers, Designers etc... and has them teach seminars between 2 and 5 days long. It's live streamed and you can ask questions, but here is the best part, the live streamed version is free, watch it, take notes, ask questions, all free. If you want to keep the course pay a down load fee and download it. Chase has made it his mission to educate folks and man what an education! The photography classes have students, they get to shoot and make mistakes then the instructor makes corrections so you get to see it all. It's so cool!
No images in this post. I'll have some bird stuff next Friday and some from my mothers day shoot this Sunday.
Thanks for reading!! Lets go shoot!!
