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.

About the light meter in a quick overview

/54 Comments/in , , /by

On August 12th I joined Scott Kelby during his great “Light it, Shoot it, Retouch it” tour.
If you didn’t already see it, and it’s close to you, make sure you check it out… You’ll love it.
Anyway, during my piece of the seminar I choose to do the high contrast light setup using a deep octa and strip light, during the setup I of course also talked about the use of a light meter and explained some of the theory behind it, however after the seminar I got so many questions from people who never used a meter to people who had problems using one that I decided to dedicate a blog post to it, because really honest… using a meter is like the simplest thing you can do within photography.

Google+

You know, the first thing I thought was “Why a new social network”.
I’m already on Facebook, twitter, hyves etc.   and there we have another one.
However as you could have read before I LOVE Google +, especially for Photographers/Videographers it’s I think the best network. The way it shows images, video etc. it’s just awesome, add the great mobile app and you can see why Google + is great.

 

Like with Twitter I can “G+” images and stories while on location, and to be honest my network exploded, I have more people following me on G+ in a few days than I had on Twitter in more than a year, and it’s still growing, for me I will keep updating Facebook and twitter via linked messages but to be honest I’ll be focussing on G+ more and more. So if you need an invite just let me know, you can find me on https://frankdoorhof.com/+ 

 

You might ask, “Why this blogpost, you already mentioned this a while ago”, well yes but yesterday someone send me this link and as a huge Queen fan I just HAD to share this one, and it almost exactly mirrors my feelings about Google +

A new book you just HAVE to read…. no really

Yesterday I got the new book by Matt Kloskowski about compositing.
I have to admit that I did maybe 2-3 composites during the last few years but I do love the look, however with a motto that sounds like “why fake it when you can create it!” I really can’t of course do composites……

Some outside and studio shots

Last week it was finally a nice day (we have had some very “flexible” weather over here :D)
And we decided to go out with Eva our model for that day.
Close to our studio there is a nice lake where I love to shoot so we decided it would be great to do some sets there.
Many thanks for Linda from Beautyfx for the makeup.
Some images could be considered Not Safe for Work (but there is no nudity of course).
