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.
You all know my moto is “why fake it when you can create it”
And although I really love plugins and for example OnOne has a great selective focus plugin that works much easier than a real T&S lens, I still prefer to shoot with the real lens. So today a bit of information and tips when working with the T&S lens.
A “just for fun” video shot with the iPhone4 from our flight to Vegas.
Before we left for Vegas I got a very nice tweet from Jules, asking me if I would like to hang out and do a kind of shoot in a ghost town close to Vegas….. well let’s be honest you don’t have to ask twice for something like that, so I agreed. Jules already knew a great model and I immediately loved her looks, we needed a second model so I decided to ask a model through modelmayhem…….
The weird thing about modelmayhem is that although some of the models are perfect for the job there also is a lot of “noise”, models responding living 100-200 miles away, or not even looking close to what we asked in the casting call. We however did find a model that I thought was perfect for the shoot, and she also had a nice idea for the theme, however (and this actually almost never happened to me) we had to cut her out. I love models that respond to emails and don’t respond that they find it a hassle to mail me their contact information and MM page so I could bring them in contact with the organizer, take it or leave it is my motto with models. So last minute we changed the model to another great one (there are so many over here :D).
We have arrived at the Mandalay bay hotel, an amazing hotel by the way.
It was a huge travel with loads of “adventures”
It started in Amsterdam, we were nicely in time but a family in front of us had problems and a junior trainee did not really tried hard to solve this, so 90 minutes later it was our turn (we hoped), there were technical problems.. add another 20 minutes… well after this there was another surprise, my name was not the same on my reservation and passport, I’ve used my calling name for many years for that account and never had a problem, so we had to run to change the tickets, arrived at the gate with 10 minutes to spare.
