013/365 – Out of the woods (+ how to do it)

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

January 13th, 2010
Theme: Macro Abstract

For the 365 Challenge today, I wanted to do something using gels… looking around my house and taking some things out of a drawer I ended up with this:

013/365 - Out of the woods

I’ll explain next how I did this step by step.

Photo equipment: D40x, SB-800, green gel, transceiver and receiver, tripod.

Materials: Zipper bags (clear), a green dish scrubber, water.

Settings on camera:
Exposure:0.033 sec (1/30)
Aperture:f/5.6
Focal Length:35 mm
ISO Speed:200
Exposure Bias:+1 EV

Settings on flash:
Manual mode
Power: 1/16

When I started I didn’t know exactly what I was going to end up with, so I put the scrubber inside the zipper bag and tried first with a small LED…

… as you can see the light source is very small so I tried the SB-800 as my main light with a green gel.

Water makes things more interesting in pictures so I decided to filled the bag (just half) with water. My setup looked like this…
Set-up
(I use the slaves because my camera can’t handle the TTL by itself)

I took a couple of pictures and I got this:
Final Image

Since I can’t get any closer with the 35mm (it won’t focus), I had to crop it in post. I used Lightroom to do that, also added blacks and clarity… and ended up with this…

I did some tests using the Mini Apollo on the SB-800 and got some other interesting results, also I filled the bag up completely with water ….

Central Park Shoot – with Rick Sammon and John Williamson B&H

Friday, December 11th, 2009

Last month, thanks to B&H we were with Rick Sammon and John Williamson learning about lighting for two days. It was a nice day and here I’ll share some of the pictures that I captured and some techniques that I learned.

The first day was at the event space in B&H, we learned about the different types of lighting and what equipment we should use depending on what we want to achieve. Of course everything depends on the equipment that we have handy at the time of the shoot. You’ll notice that you don’t need a lot of equipment to get great images, the most important thing is to know how to use the tools that you have and master them.
The second day we went out to Central Park to test the equipment and all the techniques that we learned the day before.

Using a single reflector we can fill in the shadows. Let’s see what happens when we take a picture without the reflector:

No Reflector - Central Park Shoot
The face of the model looks a little dark, and it’s hard to see her eyes. Let’s add a small reflector:

With Reflector - Central Park Shoot
Now we have a nice illuminated face. It’s just that simple, with a small reflector we direct the light to fill in the shadows. This particular day was overcast and that was good because the clouds acted like a huge soft box making the sunlight very nice, soft and even.

Another images using a big reflector. Thanks to Joey Quintero for your help!

Since we were a lot of people with just two models….

… Jennifer and David from B&H decided to model for us…

And for those (myself included) who didn’t want to get into the mass of photographers to take pictures of the models, we decided to model for ourselves using a big (42” or bigger) umbrella with a SB-600 attached.
I was using my D40x with the SB-800 to trigger the flash; cameras above the D40x have TTL capabilities on the camera and can trigger the SB-600 with the pop-up flash with no problem. I needed the external flash to trigger the other one. Here are a couple of portraits of the photographers taken with this equipment:

And butterfly with Rebeca (need to work a little more on this one):

A fellow photographer, Fabian Cambero from Venezuela, was able to come to the shoot and he was brave enough to go into the crowd of photographers and take really nice pictures of the models; you can see his pictures here.

Here is a picture of me taken by Fabian Cambero with natural light:

Unboxing the 35mm lens F/1.8G

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009

AF-S DX NIKKOR
35mm f/1.8G

35mm-12

This lens is a very affordable way to get to F/1.8,
I haven’t tried the lens too much yet but so far I can’t complain..The lens overall is lightweight, compact and very fast. On the other hand if you get too close it can cause distortion and it won’t focus but it’s not a big deal, the minimal focal distance is 1ft (0.30m).

It’s very good for low lighting conditions, for the capability to go very wide open in the aperture, but I need to try it in a real life situation.

I wanted to get one of these but my D40x wasn’t completely compatible with the other fixed focal length, and it’s very hard to focus manually. So, finally a lens with Auto Focus for DX.

I bought it at B&H and everything came in excellent conditions very well packed. Here are some pictures that I took in the store while I was testing the lens.

Box
35mm-7

First you’ll find a small box with the soft case and the lens hood.

And the next box is the lens very tightly packed
35mm-12

The rest is the warranty for 1 year and 5 more of protection (if you mail the form) and the manual
35mm-11
