* I found these images on DeviantART, I have linked them back to their owner and claim no responsibility for the content of the third party. So please be for warned, some of the content on the third parties site may be distasteful, they are only linked to give credit where credit is due. The images above are the ones I find inspiration from.
I love being able to promote other people and their work. These are just some that have inspired me and spired my work in the direction it tends to take.
When it comes to figuring out particulars about photography, such as which F/stop to use when I want something to look a certain way I always look it up on Flickr first. There is a spot if you scroll down the page that lists the camera used and offers a link for “More properties.” I’ve used this a lot when I want to figure out, okay if want something to look a certain way I need to use this. Such as lights at a carnival, if I want them blurred together I would use possibly use F/22 with a 20 second shutter. Then it would look something like this…
Or when I wanted to photograph for my Merge to HDR assignment, I wasn’t sure about what lighting to use, so I looked it up on Flickr. I found one that was done in a studio with back lighting and others were outside, not on a bright sunny day, but a little over cast. I tried shooting in those conditions and it worked.
I thought this might help photographers out there, I’ve noticed several people come from search engines looking for something and I wanted to help give an answer.
On Sunday I shot the photos for my final (hopefully I won’t have to re-shoot) and will be developing them tomorrow morning (yay!). I’m totally excited, the story behind the photos sort of evolved as I was shooting and Joanna was playing around with the vacuum (yes I just said vacuum). In the end the story of the photos plays around the new lover in Joanna’s life, Rocky …. (the vacuum). I’ll post my contact sheet once it’s printed.
Also this weekend I made my first attempting at shooting for the merge to HDR assignment, I don’t know how they will turn out, but at least I should know if I need to re-shoot by the end of today. I hope to post some of them later today or sometime tomorrow.
Peace and love!
