Photoshoot time

I’ve been quite busy lately with photsoohts, couple of different “Shots”. So this tells something about the first one. Actually the first suprise is that you wont be seeing any lens flares this time! Yeah I know, I was suprised also. And instead of studio the shots were shot “on location”

We also had some snakes there, and they don’t like flashes so I had to bring along my old trusty “working lights”, the problem with them was that they are quite powerful, 1000W I might say. But I worked it out by reflecting the lights through a ceiling so no one has to look directly to them. The light they produce is really really warm, in colour I mean, but if you are lazy you can jusut fix it in adjusting the pics.

On the second part we used some flashes also, but “luckily” my radio triggers “sending part” ran out of battery in the middle of it all, and of course I didn’t have any tools with me (the next day I went on and bought some useful screw drivers etc. to with my camera bag)

Third set was done in a small bathroom with working flashes, you might remember some shower photos from the past, this time there was a bathtub included as a bonus, how cool is that? The final part of this shot was inspired by Lady Bathory, so you might gues what to expect, heh.

“editing” pictures

In my line of whatever I do with pictures, I try to avoid the word “edit” since I’m not really really editing them, I don’t even like to edit pictures. I’m more keen on “adjusting” them, since that’s basically all I do, I might crop them a bit, but most of all I work with slightly adjusting the colours, usually I like them more warm or more cold, oh yeah and more contrast, contrast is always great. Sometimes I might go as far as making a image black & white (which can save a bad shot many times) or even giving it a blueish overall tone.
