A video
I don’t share a lot of videos from YouTube, but this one I think is hilarious.
My blog, although I don’t see myself as a blogger but as a Photographer I will try to blog some interesting material during the weeks.
Expect at least 2 updates a week.
Elinchrom Quadra Li-ion
Elinchrom Quadra Li-Ion battery
Now this will probably be one of the shortest reviews I ever did.
Elinchrom released the Elinchrom Quadra RX Li-Ion battery a while ago and I’ve been playing with it for some time now and thought it would be nice to share my opinion. But first off all I would like to thank my buddy Marc from Manfrotto for making it possible for me to test the battery J
The normal Quadra is already small, and for me this was one of the main reasons to buy them and use them in situations where I did not need the power of the Ranger RX, and to be honest since I’ve started using the Elinchrom maxilight I shoot more stuff with the Quadras than with the Rangers.
Back home
Back home again after an intense month.
We started the month off with the workshops and the introduction of the Sony Alpha99 in Dubai, a beautiful country with great photo opportunities and nice people, after Dubai we were home for little less than a week before we left for New York for the live video webinar at the MAC group for Leaf/Mamiya (soon you can find this online), working with Joe Brady during this webinar was a delight, I love it when you have two presenters because you can bounce back and forth which makes the epxerience in my opinion a lot more interesting. We filmed several interviews for our videowebpodcast “The DOORhof is always open” during the webinar including some very interesting insights about light meters and of course Joe himself, but we also visited my good friend Rick Sammon which I also dragged in front of the camera to share some of his tips from the kitchen table.
After the webinar Annewiek and I got to spend some (I think well earned) free time in New York, and I have to tell you New York is one of my favorite cities to just walk and shoot some street photography. Thanks to Google+ we were shown around by some great local photographers and even got to see the devastating results of Sandy which will be embedded in my mind forever :(, on the final day in New York we got to spend a good part of it with one of my absolute heroes Jay Maisel
Some of Nadine
Today some images from Nadine.
These were shot during our Advanced II workshop.
During this workshop there is always a “challenge” for me.
It’s a workshop all about compositing, meaning I shoot the model on a neutral background and while she changes her outfit my “challenge” is to find a new background, cut the model out and make the complete composite.
This also means that the results I’m showing from these workshops are always a little bit rough around the edges 😀 but I think they are still fun to post.
