Ever try to capture the subtle warm glow of a TUBE while capturing the subtle blacks of every surface in the studio. The art of photography is "seeing the light"
Victor Khomenko brings unique insight to the science of audio design. His academic preparation (a Master's degree in electronics and physics from the Leningrad Polytechnic Institute) strengthened his already wide knowledge of tube and solid state circuit theory. He further developed his talents in the United States by designing laboratory instrumentation, where preserving the most delicate signals is a way of life..The VK75 is a fully balanced, all-triode, bridged single-ended amplifier, employing 6SN7s at the front and two of the famous Russian 6C33B power tubes per channel to produce 75 watts. It is also Auto-Biasing, to keep those power tubes under control and provide balanced, satisfying sound. They are also known for their attractive and fabulous build quality.
I quite like this pic myself, Erin's facial expression was superb in this pic. Really captured how much fun the shoot was.
I think the only thing missing right here is a fan to create a bit more movement.. And maybe hike up the dress a bit more to create more sex appeal. :D
The light setup for this shoot was quite simple. 1 strobe with beauty dish on camera left and 1 strobe gridded and gelled pointing toward the gray seamless background. Triggered by PW Plus II. I really like beauty dish and the semi-harsh light it creates. Looks great on female models.
Canon 5D classic
F/8 @ 1/180 sec, ISO 100
Canon 24-70 F2.8L @ 65mm.
Another test shot with my new studio lights and tent. One reflector on each side. Succeeded better this time, I think.
Any feedback welcome again!
While trying studiolights for the first time I thought this would do nice for a SP on Flickr, and look there is even a group for it (-;

Shot for Competitive Cyclist.
Taken from the cutting room floor, here's some current work for my employer. This was from a set of photos from an upcoming promotion centered on various bike pedals.
This is a look I've worked on for a long time that I really like for some of these darker shots. Everything is based on a single light source; in this case an Einstein 640 in a 22" beauty dish (11.5 w/s). With the light behind the subject pointed toward the camera I get great edge definition on the product and some intentional light bleed (you could easily kill this with a flag or by slighting adjusting the light's position, but I like the look).
The rest of the magic comes in the form of bounces, aka beat-ass white foam core. I keep a large sheet positioned opposite the light source to bounce light on the camera facing side of the pedal. I then keep a smaller piece in my hand that I move around as I work to create additional accent bounces. In this case my handheld bounce is being used to put a touch of light on the front underside of the pedal.
The great thing about the bounce setup is that everything balances off the single light source. Since your bounce can never be brighter than your main light (because physics!), you get great hierarchy with minimal effort.

Long time since I posted a picture here.. I am busy with all kind of assignments in my studio that I can't find the time... We are all fine.. the "Wild bunch" are at their best.... all happy and healthy... I take peeks every now and then at your streams and I see you still have as much fun with taking pictures as I do... :-)
My post today is special enough to share... its a pregnancy photo shoot and there was a Dachshund involved.. Well... you can imagine I was so thrilled...
Today I finished all the pic's and the future mom and dad where very pleased....
Wish you all the best and I will be visiting soon....
