<br />
It is not working too well. I'm obviously very busy or I don't think about blogging much - you decide.<br />
<br />
I've learned some interesting things around photography recently that have helped me craft my art more.<br />
<br />
I'm looking to do a few more shoots here soon as well.kphotos.uthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06377313380662006462noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930326605311067173.post-45333903882856534722014-08-08T14:00:00.000-06:002014-08-08T14:00:33.741-06:00Arrrggghhhhh.Haven't blogged for a while now.<br />
<br />
Haven't had a good photo shoot recently either.<br />
<br />
Maybe the one relates to the other? Hmmmm.<br />
<br />
So, here it is, 8/8/2014 and I'm blogging again. Something must have changed.<br />
<br />
It did. I had a shoot with my good friend Emma. She's so fun to shoot with.<br />
So easy to work with, too.<br />
<br />
I've also been trying to stay off automatic and shoot all manual. Yes - back to the basics where I control the shoot, the exposure, the shutter, the focus, the focal point. It was so reminiscent of the good ol' film days. Those days where you'd shoot in manual - because that was what you had. You couldn't all of a sudden, change the ISO. You had to finish the roll and start another one or just figure it out and make it work. So, from my experience on film, I like or prefer to use ISO 100 or 200.<br />
<br />
Next we talk about photo framing. Not the wooden thing you put around the final result, but the setting, the set-up of the shot. I like to have items in the shot that give framing or reference to the subject. Not too overwhelming that they become distractions but lend to bring the focus to the subject.<br />
<br />
From the framing, we then go into shutter speed and focal length - seconds and f-stop. For most of my model shoots, I prefer a narrow f-stop, small f-stop to bring your eyes to the subject and blur the rest. Yet, there are times that a deeper length is needed. the exposure time then is offset from the f-stop selected to bring the right amount of light in the shot.<br />
<br />
I'll get to posting samples from the 'Emma' shoot here soon enough. I've got 100+ shots to scan through.<br />

One of my most favourite shooting spots is gone. I shot with Ashley only 8 months ago; the rail car and graffiti covered building are all gone now.<br />
<br />
I need to post some more of Ashley that depicts the character of this place. Alas - gone now.kphotos.uthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06377313380662006462noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930326605311067173.post-10715933692936568782011-12-30T16:06:00.004-07:002013-06-28T11:50:49.022-06:00End of the year photoshootI had a shot with Ashley on 12-30 this past week.<br />
<br /><br />
Ashley was a great shoot, and I got a couple of real good head shots with her.<br />
<br />
I'd love to shoot with her again.kphotos.uthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06377313380662006462noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930326605311067173.post-11646489112514674642011-09-24T18:30:00.007-06:002013-06-28T11:54:38.839-06:00Scera Shell ShootHad a shoot with Cali again.<br />

<br />
I wanted this to be all in black-and-white. We went out west of Utah Lake to an open field and shot quite a few photos. I rendered them all in black and white. I've always wanted a B&W set.<br />
<br />We had a great time. I'll add the ones I liked (specifically) later.kphotos.uthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06377313380662006462noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930326605311067173.post-2580432556119804382011-05-21T15:00:00.007-06:002012-07-21T16:10:13.046-06:00Spring Photo ShootI had a great shoot with a good friend recently. We shot in and around a nice building here local as well as near a University campus.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="color: #5f497a; font-size: 12pt;">Well. I had this all set up and was really excited to shoot with a new model.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="color: #5f497a; font-size: 12pt;">She sent me an email early in the morning stating that she had transportation troubles and would not be able to make the shoot.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="color: #5f497a; font-size: 12pt;">Rather than waste a planned shoot, I went anyway. I shot about 50 or 60 shots of the landscape, buildings, and this real neat-looking rail-car, when this young couple started walking around the place as well. I went up to the guy and asked it I could use them as subjects for a few shots. They were willing and so that worked out really cool.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

These two kids were much younger and were very anxious to get photos done. The sun-light was fair, but there were times where is became a little too harsh for my liking (eye squinting).<br><br> We also shot at the Provo Library. I need to look at my tri-pod because some of them turned out a little slanted. It's a good thing photoshop can help correct for some of these 'novice' mistakes.kphotos.uthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06377313380662006462noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930326605311067173.post-1245098085152735512010-02-13T14:00:00.006-07:002010-03-24T20:42:35.247-06:00Engagement Shoot DoneI recently did an engagement shoot with a friend and her fiance.

You'd have to really be a good friend, or pay me a terrific amount to do a wedding.

I used to do exclusive shots of scenic views, but now I'm taking more and more of people.<br /><br />I've done three sessions already this month. Finished one CD and have two to work on still.<br /><br /></span></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2_wOVFPF9vg/Sm9lqR3-BeI/AAAAAAAAEBg/Nr4a6x4uIxI/s1600-h/EZ_20090702_0102.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2_wOVFPF9vg/Sm9lqR3-BeI/AAAAAAAAEBg/Nr4a6x4uIxI/s320/EZ_20090702_0102.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363617458248615394" border="0" /></a>This was a fun shoot. Emma is a friend from one of my exercise classes at the gym and volunteered to let me shoot her. She was great fun to work with.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2_wOVFPF9vg/Sm9mFNKwSCI/AAAAAAAAEBs/ylaYsvvCrs0/s1600-h/20090702_LS_055-a.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 259px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2_wOVFPF9vg/Sm9mFNKwSCI/AAAAAAAAEBs/ylaYsvvCrs0/s320/20090702_LS_055-a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363617920841697314" border="0" /></a>I also had fun with Lauren shooting at the cemetery. She was good matured and seemed to like the set-up.<br /><br />Just a week or so ago, I did a shoot near the wasatch Chalet with Alicia. That was a real fun shoot. She had a few changes of clothes, and the scenery was great fun.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2_wOVFPF9vg/Sm9m52hhYfI/AAAAAAAAEB0/VZxwDDk17X8/s1600-h/IMG_20090722_0061.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2_wOVFPF9vg/Sm9m52hhYfI/AAAAAAAAEB0/VZxwDDk17X8/s320/IMG_20090722_0061.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363618825296241138" border="0" /></a>kphotos.uthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06377313380662006462noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930326605311067173.post-72687381356486281282008-10-21T14:05:00.010-06:002009-01-21T16:11:28.288-07:00Battle Creek canyon photos<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://picasaweb.google.com/s/c/bin/slideshow.swf" width="400" height="267" flashvars="host=picasaweb.google.com&noautoplay=1&RGB=0x000000&feed=http%3A%2F%2Fpicasaweb.google.com%2Fdata%2Ffeed%2Fapi%2Fuser%2Fkphotos.ut%2Falbumid%2F5253123400671050241%3Fkind%3Dphoto%26alt%3Drss%26authkey%3DhcRY0D9jTrI" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed><br />Slideshow above is of photos taken on OCT 03, 2008 from Battle Creek Canyon in Pleasant Grove, UT.
