Teasers Modeling Workshop Openshoot

Last Saturday I attended an openshoot..


BASIC MODELLING (FIRST SESSION)
ORGANIZED BY KATHERINE CAMILLE TOVERA OF PH EVENTS GROUP
APRIL 18, 2016
QC PARKS & WILDLIFE (TEAHOUSE)

The morning was a modeling workshop for aspiring models followed by an openshoot in the afternoon. I was unable to attend the workshop for models in the morning but went to the openshoot around 130pm.

The shoot had already started but some of the ladies were still being "made up" by the makeup artists... I was just observing because it is one of my wishes to one day also be a makeup artist too... another side of the spectrum :-)

My goal for this shoot was to work on my "focus" Lately I had noticed that some of my photos were leaning on the soft side. Although it gives a feminine soft look, I was unhappy. I wanted a super clear super sharp photo. So i discussed it with my husband and we came to the conclusion that my hands must be unsteady and the effect was camera shake. I know that to be true...sometimes when i click on the shutter button i feel a slight recoil of me pushing the camera upwards.

The solution to this was to control the speed....we did a few tests at home and with my 55-210mm lens, we figured that my slowest shutter speed should not go any lower than 1/200 to get a really good, really sharp photo. To top that, we also tested the ISO and tried to see how the noise was affecting the sharpness... indoors, i could go up to 800 ISO with fair sharpness... better though 600..

But I concluded to keep it really sharp, I will keep my ISO at 400. So, speed 1/200 or higher...ISO 400 or lower and of course the largest opening F4.5/5... so what happens when its too dark. I can use either the ev compensation or pop up the on camera flash.

So I went to the openshoot with that as my goal.... here are my results....





 













I am quite happy that I finally achieved the sharpness that I was looking for. These are all just teasers from the event. Now its time to edit for each of these model/clilents. But before that I need to go back to my studio shots from 2 weekends ago...

Smile and Stay Beautiful....Happy shooting....

PATRICIA | OUTDOOR BEAUTY PORTRAIT SESSION

"A warm smile is the universal language of kindness " - William Arthur Ward Most of the times, we want models to have a far away serious pose..it gives the photograph mystery and drama. This model certainly has that down...she is awesome at projecting.... Yet, what I love about shooting her is her smile... it also has that mystery like you just want to know what mischievous plan is she brewing up now... very lovely... Here is Patricia from the Basic modelling workshop on June18, 2016 PATRICIA https://www.facebook.com/369708589743959/photos/?tab=album&album_id=1057573924290752 For Classic Beauty Portrait Sessions, you may send me a message on my facebook page:  https://www.facebook.com/EarthlyVisionz/ Smile and Stay Beautiful...Happy Shooting...

Week 3 Catch Up - Shades of Grey

I am almost all caught up with the themes. I have the next 2 themes ready and just need to post them here on my blog.  So, this post is a catch up for week 3, Shades of Grey. I love taking sky pictures because of the beautiful colors. I decided, though, that this photo still looks great in black and white because of the brilliant sun. So here's my submission for the theme.... This was taken on January 31, 2011 at Villa Escudero. Taken with Samsung GT-I8000 (cellphone) F-stop f/2.8 Exposure time 1/16384 sec ISO-50 Edited with Picasa 3 - made black & white, adjusted tuning I also wanted to post a picture that my hubby took that also works with the Shades of Grey Theme....it's my sister-in-law's Dog (Zoey's) best friend...."Cat" (aka 'Ket")..... I'm still trying to convince hubby to join in with the photo challenges....

MCP Project 52 Photo Challenge

This year I have joined several challenges....a crafting challenge...a jewelry challenge... and now I am officially joining a photography challenge. I've actually wanted to come up with a theme for each week and host a challenge myself. However, this has proven to be a difficult task to handle. So instead, I am joining the folks at MCP Project 52. They are currently on week 4...so I am already late. I do want to catch up, though because after scanning through the past themes, I found them quite engaging. So, this blog was created to display my photos and tell you a bit more about why I decided to take them....If you'd like to join in, stop by the website . Anybody can join at anytime!
