Yes exactly. I put the camera on a small snap-on chair, 30 sec shutter with a timer on the release.



Here's one of my pictures from last saturday. It's the same weekly car show from the previous page. I edited out the yellow lights as much as possible. I will post more as I edit them.

Helping a friend shoot his film school senior project this weekend, my third time being on his production crew. I'm getting to play with some pretty fun toys, lots of big lights (3 1K's, 2 650's, and 2 350's), a pretty nice camera crane I built, but the piece that makes me a little light-headed is this bad boy:

Its a RED ONE digital cinema camera, the same type used to film hollywood movies like 'the book of eli' the social network, etc. The part that makes me nervous and awed is that its a $60,000 camera!

I'll be sure to post it up when its finished.

haha just a little bit, especially when shoulder holding it (fuckin thing weighs 32 lbs just with the lens and body!) and when i was first bolting it to the camera crane i built. it was a little ricketty at first, but allowed some AWESOME shots.

Thanks dude, it's one of the first shots in a long time I was really excited about. After shooting for a number of years it gets harder and harder to come away with shots that I'm impressed by.

This is another shot I was really happy about. For the longest time I had a hard time breaking the "personal space" barrier when photographic athletes but I finally have gotten over it. This was from the NFL Pro Day they had last week for the guys trying to go on to the NFL. This is Austin Johnson right before his 60-yard shuttle run, with a bevy of NFL scouts in the background.

My free trial of light room expired a while ago. I didn't edit the lights on these ones.

Here are some recent pictures of mine that I just got edited and uploaded.

First up is a set from Streetpainters, during st. Pats in rolla, MO. It is some of the drunkest people you've ever seen painting the parade route (and each other) green. I shoot this every year and always get a bunch of great shots. They start before sunrise so the lighting is tricky at best, but rewarding when the sun starts to come up.






This next set is some promo pictures I took for the wine and sushi bar I bartend at. Its a really nice upscale, cool place and I tried to capture that.

/\just a few of the 50+ vodkas we have. If you can find Shpilka near you, buy it. Its the smoothest vodka I've ever tasted and costs about as much as skyy.






And finally, my friend Justin's integra. Funny enough, he traded this car the day after the shoot and ended up getting an EP Si which I also shot tonight (editing them right now, will be uploaded tomorrow.)

I like the pics of the integra. Nice job on the rolling shot. The bar pics are pretty crispy too.

Not the best quality but until I get a nice camera I am learning on a kodak. I took these of a rainy and foggy day back in the winter. Currently, I lack editing software or a tripod and different types of lenses. The camera is actually my fathers and he let me borrow it for some shots.


Please leave feedback. I am knowledge hungry and hope to get my skill level up to par with you all.
