I do know this. It's the things we run from that hurt us the most." –Brad Sturdevant

Thanks @stevierayrosario for putting up with all my running and hoping around trying to get this photo 😂 I'm just glad I could get in and out if this dress before more people showed up 😆😂
I spent a lot of last weekend watching an online lighting workshop by Zack Arias and it was really fantastic. There is a link on his blog to purchase the video, think it was on for about 20 hours in total over 3 days. During one of the breaks on the Sunday night I took on board some of the suggestions and got this.
I've tried this kind of setup before but I always ended up (what I now realise) underexposing the subject in an attempt to kill all ambient light. After watching the workshop something clicked and i'm really happy with the lighting.
However it did make me want to max out my credit card on lighting modifiers. He had an softbox bigger than my kitchen! ....This shot is almost straight out of camera too - less and less editing required to get something i'm half happy with.

Faeröer - Føroyar - Færøerne - Faroe islands
De Faeröer [ˈfɛːrøər]? (Faeröers: Føroyar; Deens: Færøerne) zijn een eilandengroep, gelegen in de noordelijke Atlantische Oceaan in de driehoek Schotland-Noorwegen-IJsland. De archipel vormt een autonoom gebied binnen het Koninkrijk Denemarken. De naam Faeröer komt waarschijnlijk van 'schapeneilanden' (Deens: får betekent schaap; øer eilanden). Er wonen 49.709 (2013) mensen, van wie veel in de hoofdstad Tórshavn. De plaatselijke Noord-Germaanse dialecten, verwant aan het IJslands, zijn gestandaardiseerd in het Faeröers.
Geschiedenis
De Faeröer zijn vanaf de 9e eeuw n.Chr. voornamelijk vanuit Noorwegen bevolkt. In de 11e eeuw kwamen de eilanden onder het gezag van de Noorse koning. Toen Noorwegen zelf een gebiedsdeel van Denemarken werd, kwamen de Faeröer ook onder de Deense kroon. Ook toen Noorwegen Zweeds en later zelfstandig werd, bleven de Faeröer Deens. In 1948 kregen de eilanden verregaand zelfbestuur. De Faeröer behoren niet tot de Europese Unie.
Op sommige zeekaarten uit de 16e en 17e eeuw is ten zuiden van IJsland een groot eiland te zien dat Frisland genoemd werd. Aangenomen wordt dat daarmee de Faeröer bedoeld werden.
Politiek
De Faeröer zijn een constitutioneel koninkrijk. Het staatshoofd is de Deense Koningin Margaretha II. De minister-president van het land is Kaj Leo Johannesen.
Economie
De economie van de Faeröer is voornamelijk afhankelijk van de visserij (onder meer wijting, kabeljauw, schelvis, koolvis) en intensieve zeeviskwekerij (voornamelijk zalm en forel). De bestuurlijke verantwoordelijkheid voor deze economische activiteiten valt onder het zelfbestuur van de eilandengroep, zoals met het Deense Koninkrijk wettelijk is overeengekomen. De Faeröer onderhouden bilaterale betrekkingen met de Europese Unie en met andere landen, waaronder de buurlanden Noorwegen en IJsland.
Naast de visserij, die verreweg het grootste deel van de export voor zijn rekening neemt, zijn er op de archipel ook duizenden schapen, die in de bergen grazen. Ze voorzien in 60% van de vleesproductie en zijn daarbij ook nog wolleveranciers. Kleine en gevarieerde industriële activiteiten worden ontwikkeld. Het toerisme neemt een bescheiden plaats in en ook de dienstverlening, vooral voor de visserij en de oliewinning, groeit. De vissers van de Faeröer zijn berucht om het bijeendrijven en slachten van scholen grienden, kleinere walvisachtigen, voor hun vlees en blubber, hetgeen voor de buitenwereld een controversiële bezigheid is. Deze jacht op grienden (in het Faeröers grindadrápið: de griendjacht, grindadráp: een griendjacht) wordt gezien als een volksfeest. De griendjacht is niet commercieel. De vangsten worden onder de bevolking verdeeld. Daarnaast bestaat er nog een kleine vogelvangst voor economische doeleinden, een melkveeproductie die de plaatselijke behoeften geheel dekt, en een bescheiden aardappelteelt.
De opbrengst van de nog steeds bescheiden winning van olie binnen de 200 zeemijl vanaf de zeekust, is sinds enkele jaren een interne Faeröerse aangelegenheid. Denemarken en de Faeröer zijn overeengekomen dat de opbrengsten in de Faeröerse bodem, zee en lucht eigendom zijn van het Faeröerse volk en niet per definitie van de Denen.
Geografie[
De Faeröereilanden hebben tezamen een totale kustlijn van 1117 km. Het hoogste punt is de Slættaratindur op het eiland Eysturoy, met 882 m.
De zeventien bewoonde eilanden van de Faeröer zijn:
•Streymoy
•Eysturoy
•Vágar
•Mykines
•Suðuroy
•Stóra Dímun
•Skúvoy
•Sandoy
•Hestur
•Koltur
•Nólsoy
•Borðoy
•Kalsoy
•Kunoy
•Viðoy
•Svínoy
•Fugloy
Het achttiende, onbewoonde eiland is Lítla Dímun.
De hoofdstad Tórshavn, met 19.282 inwoners (2005), ligt op het grootste eiland, Streymoy. Dit eiland is met een brug verbonden met het op een na grootste eiland, Eysturoy. Een andere wat grotere plaats is Klaksvík met 4664 inwoners (2005), op Borðoy.
Vanaf Borðoy loopt een dam naar zowel Viðoy als Kunoy. Deze drie eilanden vormen samen met Kalsoy, Svínoy en Fugloy de Noordereilanden.
Op Vágar ligt het enige vliegveld van de Faeröer, de Luchthaven Vágar. Vroeger moesten luchtreizigers die naar Tórshavn wilden, een overtocht per veerboot maken, maar sinds in 2002 de Vágartunnel werd voltooid is er een rechtstreekse wegverbinding.
Het meest westelijke eiland Mykines is beroemd om zijn populatie papegaaiduikers. De hele archipel heeft overigens een rijk vogelleven: de steile, rotsachtige kust maakt de nesten onbereikbaar voor vijanden.
De Faeröer bestaan uit 34 gemeenten

I have had the privilege of being in studio on Creative Live for the last two days for a workshop with photographer Doug Gordon (www.creativelive.com/courses/wedding-project-doug-gordon). There is still one more day to go and I have already learned so much! The location of the workshop is also amazing. This image is of the location, The Landmark Event Center in Des Moines, Washington.
I had the privilege of designing the thank you for Don Giannatti for his creativelive.com workshop.

Has anyone been watching Brooke Shaden on creativeLIVE the past 2 days? It's been an awesome workshop! Definitely motivational/inspirational for self-portraiture. There has been so many things that she's said these past 2 days that'll stick with me for a long time. Not just for my work, but for myself. Today is the last day for the workshop so check it out! www.creativelive.com
By the way, this was a very very cold shoot. It was raining slightly and my feets were like ice. When I finally got back in the car, my feet felt like they were on fire. But worth it, I think. (:

Trying to apply what I learned from Sue Bryce awesome CreativeLive workshop on glamour photography.
I was up till 4am watching Zack Arias' workshop at CreativeLive - awesome - so didn't have to take a proper shot. I just picked up this pair of Giraffe wood sculptures we picked up in Kenya and used a 50mm f/1.8 to get a severe dof.
After watching Susan Stripling's course on CreativeLive, I decided to try and see if I could create some ring shots inspired by her awesomeness. These were lit with an Ice Light. Reflective surface is my iPad

Nathan has grown up quite a bit since I last took pictures of him. Of course for a 4 year old he still has a limited attention span but if you make what you're doing sound like the single most fun thing he could do right now he actually works for you. Unlike with other children Ive taken pictures of Im not struggling to get a particular shot or pose or look and just let them play away and hope I can wing a decent moment. With Nathan I could actually give direction now, right down to the positioning of his fingers. And he could hold expressions like he knew what I was trying to get :)
For someone so young that is a very valuable thing to be able to do that and not feel awkward, he was completely natural. I know loads of people near 5 times his age that cannot do that with the same ease. Id say he was even as easy to direct as Sarah :P (I might get hit for that)
After I finished with my pictures he insisted that I bounced on said trampoline. I gave him my camera and he went off to the vegetable patch to take pictures. I watched him as he looked around himself for pictures instead of just mindlessly aiming the camera at anything. What I forgot to do was stitch the camera to auto for him to turn back-button focusing off. He was complaining that it wouldnt focus like some sort of diva shooter :P
I think I will start teaching him to look for nice light. He already knows the 'Put the thing in the corner'/rule of thirds tip but today he learnt what shadows and highlights are on a rhubarb leaf :)
I put one of his (uncropped) pictures in the comments. Remember, he is 4 years old.
Oh! This looks good. This guy is great! So is his studio work aand I'm actually going to try and tune into his creativeLIVE sessions next week, partially because I have no more exams/driving test/client meetings and partially becuase of that beard. Like come on.. beast!
I had a driving lesson today, my second last one. Same story, 100% for the first 40mins and then 2 majors on silly things because I lost concentration towards the end. Albiet the mistakes were on things I havent done before so I know now how to do it right if it comes up again :)
Woop! Positivity!

I spent today at the Creative Live studio in San Francisco to attend a course on cyber security. Marc Goodman provided lots of information on how to secure our computers and devices to avoid malware, viruses, ransomware and identity theft. I highly recommend this course which you can watch online:

This photo was critiqued by the pros at Creative Live. I got a very good review except for the hot spot on bottom right. Pretty happy with the shot. No Photoshop. I need to learn how to use it.
For the creativeLIVE - Fashion Flair with Lindsay Adler
Breaking the rule of thirds and Shooting with straight horizons
I'm not a fantastic writer so please bear with me, but I wanted to say that I absolutely loved these courses by Sue! I only opened my photography business a couple of months ago, and even though I have a true love for photography I feel like I have been floundering around, not really knowing what I was doing on the business-side of things, trying to find my style, and not knowing the next step to take. After watching this workshop through creativeLive (and some other courses as well, I'm becoming quite the creativeLive addict haha!) I have grown and learned soooo much and have a much better idea of what steps I need to take to accomplish my goals.
I also wanted to add that I absolutely enjoyed participating in this contest, and equally LOVED looking at all of the other entries, there were so many stunning images and talented photographers! I had a lot of respect for Sue Bryce before, but after doing this session, which was my first portrait session like this ever, my respect for her has literally shot through the roof! I have a long way to go but I can't wait to try this again and push myself further!

. . .naah, me either. . . ;-)
After watching enough creativeLIVE, I took the inevitable descent from Elements 10 to Lightroom, and finally to Photoshop CS6. I tried to hold out, but it was futile. . .

I recently created a class with CreativeLive on illustrative, hand-lettering. I teach the class using a tablet and Photoshop, but the majority of it could be done the analog way. I recorded the class while I was in San Francisco — it was a lot of fun hanging out with all the great people at CreativeLive.
The class is broken down into 14 easily digested lessons that you can follow along with on your own schedule. Included with the class are a number of extras including: working files, desktops, a discount code for Kyle Webster’s amazing Photoshop brushes, process PDF’s, textures, and more!
Check it out {HERE}!
I'm not a huge fan of "copying" other artists, although I'm sure there are times when I do, although I do believe that the majority of the time it is subconcious, because there's no joy for me in copying other artists... it seems like a waste of the brain, imagination, and creativity I've been given. Anyway, I would like to give some credit for this photo to Jeremy Cowart. It isn't that his work inspired me regarding this photograph, it's more that his style and technique is what drove me to keep working this concept and not be afraid of the result, because I consider this to be very stylistically different for me. Allow to me explain...
I came up with the concept for this photo almost 6 months ago. I had the general aspects of it worked out pretty quickly, but there were some details that I wanted to ponder over for a while. So, when I finally decided I was ready to shoot this (today), I had almost all aspects of it figured out... to the degree that I just needed to set it up, shoot it, and be done with it. But what happened is that I accidentally walked in front of the camera when an exposure was being made, and something about the overlaying of motion on this scene just really seemed to make sense. It was around this time that Jeremy Cowart's creativeLive workshop popped into my head, and I remembered how much I appreciated his willingness to experiment in really unorthodox ways... even if it meant coming-up with a really poor image. So I finished-off my "safe shot" (the one I had been planning for months), and then went into a totally different mindset (the one I briefly described above). When it came time to decide which photo to process and post, I really struggled. A part of me wanted to go with the "safe" route, posting the image that is more my style and along the lines of the original concept. But a different part of me kept wanting to push working with the secondary approach... the Jeremy Cowart way of being creative and experimental for the sake of creating something really genuinely unique.
The mechanics of this shot are like this... I was using a fairly long exposure, because most of the light in this scene is ambient (from a window, and from the lightbulb in the closet), then a rear-curtain flash would fire to add a bit of fill light. The long-exposure allows for movement, the flash allows for a certain degree of "freeze" on a moving subject. So, right before the shutter opened I would start walking... this creates some blurred movement. Then right before the shutter closes, the flash fires and illuminates and freezes the subject. You can see how the dark areas of the ambiently-lit background get overlayed with the flash-lit subject.
So again... this is my shout-out to Jeremy Cowart for inspiring me to not be afraid to try different things.

Lighting/Setup Info
- SB600 at 24mm zoom and 1/8 power level, bare and bounced. Positioned camera-left about 4-feet from bounce surface, bounce surface was about 12-feet from subject. (Fill Light)
- Lightbulb in closet was flagged with black tin-foil so that the back wall (in the closet) wouldn't blow-out too much.

Dirty Bird Concepts (which used to be Sinister Industries) flashback. This was built for an out-of-state customer a few years back and I shot it for Baggers Magazine.
Shot at dusk--I laid down on the ground for this one! Three speedlights up high, one right, one left and one behind the bike. The trick is to carefully balance the strobes with the ambient. Canon 5DII, 24-105L lens, Radio Popper triggers.
This is an older image that I edited after watching the Joel Grimes tutorial on CreativeLive. I dropped in a more dramatic sky, I made the mountains in the left of the bike and increased the contras/drama with a B&W layer set to overlay.

Catching up on some editing, I did this senior portrait using Nik's Silver Efex Pro 2. Applied the "green" filter in SEP, which really brings out the eyes and lips. Tried some of the posing here that I learned from Sue Bryce on CreativeLive. I just have a hard time shooting portraits like she does with a 35mm or 50mm lens,. I always like the 85mm much better.
Holy cow! Where did my little girl go?
Natural light. Shot today after watching Sue Bryce on CreativeLive last week. In an hour and a half session, I have so many usable shots it's unbelievable.
Thank you, Sue...

Strobist Sunday - June 6, 2010 - Needs A Battery
(yes a bit of a stretch based on the theme, but i figure many of the group members will post things that require a AA or two, so feel free to take one of these :D )
This is a quicky for the Flickr Strobist Sunday group. I spent all day today watching Zack Arias teaching a studio lighting course online through creativelive.com. I'll be around on Flickr to comment and stuff on Monday (after this seminar/workshop/whatever is over)

My beautiful wife...she's never had a real photo session before. It's taken a lot coaxing and begging from me to finally convince her to get dolled up for a session with me. She agreed because I told her I had a chance to win a really nice camera from Sue! In reality, I just wanted a good excuse to finally get a chance to really make her beauty shine. As a mother of 2, she doesn't often get to take time for herself, let alone have a few hours to get pampered and treated like a rock star!
I don't really care if I win. I have these amazing photos of her now (patting myself on my back, but big props go to salonelementspa.com for the hair and makeup)
These photos were taken in a tiny corner in our bedroom (we moved the nightstand that we keep our alarm clock on) using a Sony A77, Minolta 50 f1.7, Sony 35 f1.8 and a large reflector bouncing the window light a la Sue Bryce. As a photographer, I only have 1 year under my belt, but I've learned soooo much from Sue Bryce and creativeLIVE that I feel I've accelerated several years ahead. Thanks so much to Sue and the team at creativeLIVE!
