i have lots of studio shooting experience and the best way for the background to show is to over expose it.

 

LOL..damn didn't even think of that haha. If anything we can bring the lights for a photoshoot outside. I'll use AC/DC converter and plug them into my car lighter

 

Thanks, I'll play around with that. In this picture, I actually put the light behind the backdrop. Should I overexpose it even more? Also, what about for black and darker backdrops? Appreciate the tips!

 

Damn dude nice shots. Like the wide angle shot, which lens did you use for that. The Koit looks like its been pchopped in the picture. Something about the lighting/contrast...not sure.

 

you never have to put light behind the backdrop. usually what i do is put a light pointing at the backdrop then measure the light back there and open your lens a bit more. then adjust the light pointing at the subject perfect to what your camera settings will be. remember that when using studio lights, you have to have a handheld meter and adjust every light manually. also the settings on your camera are always manual. that way you have predictable results with every shot.

i love to come over and help you with all of that one day. i can bring my lights and other dark backdrop and meter. i will also bring my Mamiya RZ67 camera. you bring the model.

 

That's me exploding the beer After setting the camera i ran up the rock, to find that i had shaken the **** outta the beer. hahaha
And surprisingly enough we landed the jump on the Aquatrax.
(F-U for the light beer comment)

 

lol @ exploding the beer

 

More VDub pictures...



And the spider that lives in my Lavender plants...

 

that shot is from a Nikkor 17-35/2.8 lens shot on film. actually all those shots were shot on film.

one photographer once told me, "I don't understand why people buy different color backdrops. All I do is get a white one and put color gels on my lights."

 

wtf crasy spider >.<

 

a couple from today

 

It is a "Banded Argiope" or some crazy **** like that...it is the size of my hand!
Scared the crap out of me the first time I saw it, I ran back in the house and slammed the door (because in my terrified girly mind I figured the spider had apposable thumbs). Then I got used to it...I have a bunch of pics of it... weird...

As for photos, a friend of mine dropped by wth his newly aquired Gorilla Suit..
Oh yeah baby...

 

The Gorilla pics are awesome, nice composure.
