The joys of shooting Friday Night Football! When I have people tell me the Auto Focus on Canon equipment is better than Nikon’s, I just attach this to the next email I send them. As evidence shows, Nikon just can’t be beat. Nikon D200 ISO: 1600 f/2.8 @ 1/250 450 mm FL SB-800 on camera

This is of the NC Spot Festival in Hampstead, NC. The text offers the information about the festival. Somehow I managed to shoot the whole thing at 800 ISO, which is fun, and loud with all that noise. This is probably one of the weakest things I’ve ever put out so don’t look at it…

So I spent 30 minutes trying to figure out how to get on this roof, and I finally did. I played with it in photoshop to make it look better than it did, I added some grain and made it contrasty because it was really ugly and boring before. Maybe it still is, you decide….

We had to shoot environmental sports portraits for Bill, I couldn’t decide between these two. What do you think? The sun was about two feet from coming around the building and creating this light, but it wasn’t going to make it before sunset so I had to light it instead, I used an orange gel…

I had to climb on top of the roof of this school in Wake Forest to get this shot. Some really nice light was coming in through the trees and hitting his face right when he was coming down the rail. I had an off camera flash set up behind him on the left to…

Caption information is included in image. Shot on Nikon D200 with 17-35mm lens at 200 ISO and F/8.0 on Aperture Priority. Used my buddy Fill on all of them using the SB-800 off camera connected by an SC-28 cord.

Tried to get back into the studio one evening only to find I had no ideas. Wanted some sort of vegetable/kitchen stock type of shot, but it didn’t come out really how I wanted. Next time I will brainstorm more and hopefully escape more successful. I used a 750 bounced off a fill card on…

I believe this is a Datura, also called the Devil’s Trumpet, it blooms at night and wilts in the day (if this is wrong, tell me). Used a flash with a diffusion card over the front and sidelit it as to not have light spill into the background. Also used the 1/250th sync to get…

Kelly Beck, of Raleigh, NC, hopes the new Earn-a-Bike program at 1304 Bikes will bring order to the volunteer-ran community bike project in Raleigh, NC. The new program accesses each donated bike based on condition. More volunteer hours are required for bikes in better condition. After volunteering with cleaning and organizing for the given amount…

I found a 10 year old roll of Fuji Provia (Transparency Film) and put it to use. Had it processed through a C-41 process and color printed it on the RA-4. It had strange color casts which were hard to figure out, the negative is almost completely blue. The image here is a scan of…
