Lesson #1: Don't underexpose your film...
Luckily, I still have one more roll of this.
Shot on my Nikkormat using Kroger 200 film.
Setup: 2 striplights left and right each containing a Speedlite to highlight the outline of the bottle. 1 Speedlite through diffused Rogue Grid for the label and 1 speedlite bounced off a Rogue Flashbender for the neck and spray. Bottle was sprayed with a matt coating, then the condensation added using Glycerin/water mix. All Speedlites fired at 1/32 power.
Lessons.
1. Reduce flash duration to 1/64th power to freeze the liquid.
2. Clean bottle properly before applying matt coating.
3. Centre the bottle around the label.
4. Neck lighting does not extend down enough
5. Waterproof the label to prevent damp patches.
Jean and headed out one day to shoot some wild horses she got a tip about. I'm not a horse person so I'm not really familiar with horse behavior and body language. What I can say was it was utterly amazing to stand in the middle of a heard of 200 or so wild horses and watch them interact. Most of the time they seemed to congregate in small bands of 3-8 individuals and peacefully graze. Once in a while an individual would stray and get too close to another pack. Sometimes a stern look or a few steps towards the intruder with would be enough. Other times a full blown chase would break out. In this case the offender tried to make a fast turn, skidded and fell on it’s ass. Teeth are a formidable weapon out here. A lesson is taught...a few new battle scars and the calm resumes for a few minutes.
I guess we all make mistakes, I would normally bin an image if I thought it was below standard and this one nearly went in the bin. The lesson is put all your settings back to the correct position before you leave for your chosen photography spot. When I got to this spot I dragged out of my bag the 16-35, when I last used it I had it on my tripod so switched off the stabalizer, I took a couple of shots with polarizer in place which looked fine on the LCD, I had walked a fair distance when I noticed I had not pushed that switch.
Having loaded that days shoot onto my computer I then could see how effective eight stops of camera and lens stabilization is and how you miss it when it is not there.
So here is the first shot the other has bitten the dust. Check everything.
This is Sandgate park near Storrington in Sussex, the little stream looked lovely with leaves floating in this one, the fairy bridge looked lovely over the stream too , the sky was a bland grey and light levels low. I made the best of this image it sure is not the best so a return visit will be made to make another go of it.
Dreadlocked model Savra shot with real owls (supplied courtesy of a local bird of prey rescue centre with handlers on site), in the very aptly named Owl Mountains pf Poland.
Check out the very cute fluffy owlet on the table!
SB800 through a softbox, left, approx 10ft away at 3/4 pwr. SB600 bare and camera rt. Used this one to light the grass and pole. Single shot HDR processed via photomatix and photoshop.
I have learned that pretty models really help my pictures.
These photos - and others to follow - were taken by Amanda Richards following a makeover at her True Colors studio in PA.
As many of you know, Amanda is a uniquely gifted artist as well as somebody who pours her heart and soul into her work. For those who haven't had the opportunity to visit her, I highly recommend it. This was my second photoshoot with Amanda - the first was over five years ago - and it was incredibly enlightening. Here are some of the things that I took away from the shoot:
1. Wear a cincher and gaff. I generally don't wear either when I'm out and about, as I value comfort above all, and I typically make do with looser tops and a snug pair of panties for everyday. But for a photo shoot, I think both are advisable, unless you're having boudoir shots, in which case, of course, you're on your own! :-) Based upon my choice of outfits for the shoot, I regretted not wearing either. Lesson learned.
2. Be yourself. Amanda is incredibly flexible and deferential to her clients' tastes, however she has an artist's eye and very definite ideas about makeup. Depending on what look you want, it's important that you consider whether that look will reflect who YOU are as opposed to somebody completely unrecognizable. Some folks might prefer the latter, but I prefer to look like myself, so it's important to take that into consideration when it comes to things like overdrawn lips, brows, eye liner, etc. My philosophy is that we should all play to our natural gifts and diminish aspects of our presentation which don't come across as genuine. Since I tend to be a smiler, some of the photos where I didn't smile seemed to be a bit forced. Lesson learned.
3. Understand what taping does and know its pros and cons. I never tape when I do my own makeup, but Amanda taped me and it can make a real difference. Just be sure to remove the tape within a reasonable period of time, otherwise you'll be scraping glue off your neck and forehead for hours. I had a taping experience many years ago where I wasn't aware that it needed to come off at a certain point, and when I removed it, part of my face came with it. :-( Lesson learned back then!
An Amanda Richards makeover and shoot is a singular experience, and I would encourage anybody who seeks to enhance their own natural, unique beauty to take advantage of it. She's a treasure in the community.
If you've gotten this far, thanks for sticking with my long description of the occasion, and thank you all so much for your beautiful comments!
Maggie was the youngest kid up there for hula lessons, and she did a great job. She ran up there all by herself without the protection of Mom or Dad and did a better job than many of the adults. A Japanese guy tried to give her the "high-five" when they were done, but she was having none of it and ran back to Mommy and Daddy to tell us all about it.
So much for having a bath the day before, and being groomed beautifully before being turned out after a lesson!
In spite of that, I can't help but love the look of sheer pony delight to be free and having a great roll in the muck.

“Haaarruuumph” said Yuffie sulking and kicking a cup around the hill.
“What’s up?” asked Spectre.
“The illustrator just threw me out of the class he was teaching,” replied Yuffie.
“Oh dear, Yuffie,” sighed Spectre, “what was the class about?”
“The illustrator was teaching us how to write stories and bad jokes in 512 characters or less to fit in as flash fiction,” stated Yuffie. ”He went mad when I said a really rude word startin’ with C.”
“Well that wasn’t clever was it?” said Spectre.
“No,” replied Yuffie, “it was cu

Recently when I was in Virginia I had the opportunity to photograph this painting (one that is significantly better than the one I posted previously).
由造型設計師KAMIORI KAORI親自打理，邀來少女半月刊non-no御用插画家YOSHII CHIHIRO參與製作，共同完成的概念型錄「LESSON」。以09年的春夏展示会作品為基礎，透過身著芭蕾舞衣的少女視點，創造出屬於繊細風味、輕鬆愉快的日常即景，生動表現個人的獨特世界観。其中點綴搭配的各式洋服小物飾件，恰如其分地襯托出「LESSON」這項主題。雖為品牌型錄但其實更近似於作品集，讓人非常想一次蒐齊限定推出的兩款表紙版本。
“If the river has a soul, it's a peaceful one. If it has a lesson to impart, that lesson is patience. There will be drought, it says; there will be floods; the ice will form, the ice will melt; the water will flow and blend into the river's brackish mouth, then join the ocean... endlessly, forever, amen.”
― Therese Anne Fowler
