POD #17

Taken with a Canon 5D Mark II ISO 100 1/100 @ f/11

Light source varied. Mostly two Alien Bee 800's rim lighting for separation and a 1600 filling everything out.

So, after editing 450+ pictures in 7 hours. My supervisor asks me if I wanted to shoot a band later that night. I, with exhaustion in my voice, said yes. It was a great decision. I met some really cool people, took some great images and had a blast. Best fourteen hour day I have had. First two images are group shots with everyone. There are also groupings of different artists and finally my favorite are the ones of the Kristina Jacobsen ( the last two images) by herself. I definitely feel accomplished.

POD #16

Taken with a Canon 5D Mark II ISO 6400 1/125 @ f/4

Tungsten modeling lights.

We started this week at internship with shooting smalls on the table top and I thought I would test out the ISO capabilities of the 5D. Some noise is still seen in both of the images, but, overall, better than I would have thought. The first image is just one of the products we shot that day. I thought it was really weird and obscure. The second image is of my supervisor getting in close to inspect the bottom of the vase for a signature on the piece. 

POD #11

Taken with my Nikon D90 1/125 @ f/16. SB-24 Flash triggering two Alien Bee 800's

Thought I would take a picture of where I am working for my internship. Was not aware at the time that my SB-24 for flash would trigger the optical slave on the Alien Bee 800's. Thank you Paul C. Buff. The first image is our shooting space at Leland Little Auctions. It is just enough room for us to do what we need. The second picture is my supervisor, Kent Corley, shoot details of a metal sculpture on a mirrored base. You would think that this would have been a challenge, but not for Kent.
