We used 5 strobes for this shot, 3 in umbrellas and 2 bare.

In a discussion forum, a writer from "What Digital Camera Magazine," based in the UK, asked the opinions of those who have an Olympus E-3. I submitted my comments and was asked if I wanted to submit them to their magazine. So, long story short, we got the magazine in the mail today. <br /><br />The picture is one I took on my trip to Kansas City, Missouri for a teacher workshop. It was taken in one of the walkways that connect surrounding buildings called "The Link." <br /><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br />Here is the original:<br><br /><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2410/2277618155_ed133dd75b.jpg?v=0">Thad & Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01686420842248197927noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076653767102205583.post-70050113875532917452008-05-12T10:06:00.004-04:002008-06-04T07:28:56.251-04:00Jenna's Bridal Portraits<style type="text/css">.flickr-photo { border: solid 2px #000000; }.flickr-yourcomment { }.flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; }.flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; }</style><div class="flickr-frame"> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/17906222@N04/2485385844/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3226/2485385844_2d38500458.jpg" class="flickr-photo" alt="" /></a><br /> <span class="flickr-caption"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/17906222@N04/2485385844/">Jenna</a>, originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/17906222@N04/">2&3Designs</a>.</span></div> <p class="flickr-yourcomment"> <img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2180/2485385834_bd782fde10.jpg?v=0"><br /><br />We recently were blessed to be a part of Ben and Jenna Sugg's wedding this past weekend.

Chocolate is one of life's great pleasures, especially in the form of ice cream. This shot is from a shoot done with our friend <a href="http://aknacer.blogspot.com/">Aaron.</a> This is the type of shoot I have no problem doing... I mean really, Sarah hanging over my shoulder feeding me chocolate... emmmm. <br /><br />WE had four lights set up. Two behind us out of frame, one ring flash on camera and one to the side shooting towards the ceiling to provide a hair light. I I think it came out awesome and we couldn't have done it without Aaron!</p>Thad & Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01686420842248197927noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076653767102205583.post-83798747394328449622008-03-22T19:48:00.003-04:002008-04-24T11:09:19.961-04:00Reeses!<style type="text/css">.flickr-photo { border: solid 2px #000000; }.flickr-yourcomment { }.flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; }.flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; }</style><div class="flickr-frame"> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dexterousartisan/2351795053/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3002/2351795053_bf8cc10d03.jpg" class="flickr-photo" alt="" /></a><br /> <span class="flickr-caption"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dexterousartisan/2351795053/">Reeses!</a>, originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/dexterousartisan/">LShadrack</a>.</span></div> <p class="flickr-yourcomment"> Sarah and I called up a friend, Aaron, we recently met at the last Triangle Strobist meet-up and ened up spending our entire night shooting Reese's and donuts.

I knew it was a good picture as soon as I looked in the camera. I love the angle. And, as you can tell...

He was scared to death of the camera, lights and umbrella, but with the power of leftovers we were able to distract him.</p>Thad & Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01686420842248197927noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076653767102205583.post-54169022451054592772008-02-29T17:52:00.005-05:002008-04-24T11:12:18.591-04:00The Stars Upward Cheerleading Squad<style type="text/css">.flickr-photo { border: solid 2px #000000; }.flickr-yourcomment { }.flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; }.flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; }</style><div class="flickr-frame"> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/17906222@N04/2299199966/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3029/2299199966_83f9457037.jpg" class="flickr-photo" alt="" /></a><br /> <span class="flickr-caption"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/17906222@N04/2299199966/">_2237747</a>, originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/17906222@N04/">2&3Designs</a>.</span></div> <p class="flickr-yourcomment"> On the 23rd, Sarah and I were lucky enough to be the photographers for my cousin, Sydney's, cheerleading squad.

This is only one of many. It provided several different types of problems. Not only with rebuilding the faces where the scratches and damage was, but with the discoloration of the tape along the edges. Getting the couch the right color brown, was probably the hardest part. Overall it came out better than I was expecting... always a good thing.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Click image for a larger version...<span style="font-style:italic;"></span></span>Thad & Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01686420842248197927noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076653767102205583.post-67093902649578261892008-02-03T22:17:00.002-05:002008-04-24T11:14:54.544-04:00God's Masterpiece<style type="text/css">.flickr-photo { border: solid 2px #000000; }.flickr-yourcomment { }.flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; }.flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; }</style><div class="flickr-frame"> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dexterousartisan/2240966624/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2028/2240966624_3c20a9c53d.jpg" class="flickr-photo" alt="" /></a><br /> <span class="flickr-caption"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dexterousartisan/2240966624/">God's masterpiece</a>, originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/dexterousartisan/">LShadrack</a>.</span></div> <p class="flickr-yourcomment"> I took this in Charlotte, 02/02/2008.
