The Assignment: Underwater

Camera: Canon 40D
Lens: EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro
ISO: 100
Shutter Speed: 1/250
Aperture: f/2.8
Focal Length: 100mm

I’m fascinated by water drop shots I’ve seen around. This is my first attempt at making some of my own.

I followed a guide I saw on the Strobist site.

I used a canon 580EX II off camera left at 1/4 power. It was triggered with a Canon ST-E2 wireless transmitter. I basically used the exact same technique from the Strobist tutorial.

The colors come from a combination of a really poor painting of mine and an ad on the back of a magazine I had laying around.

It was a lot of fun to do and I will definitely be trying this again, hopefully with better results.

Here’s the photo I originally toyed around with submitting.

This photo was taken at the Oklahoma Aquarium in Jenks, Oklahoma with a Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 (the thrifty fifty).

Carolina Rollergirls vs Tucson Saddletramps 08.13.2008

It was my first time shooting for the CarolinaRollergirls. It’s a bit different shooting in Dorton Arena. There’s actually quite a bit of light compared to other venues and there’s like a referee buffer zone, so I couldn’t get right up on the tape like I usually do. Oh well, I guess that’s a good excuse to get a longer lens.

Dartmouth, Murals, Vermont in General

Recently I went to visit some friends up north. While I was there I had the chance to go roam around the Dartmouth campus. During my excursion I stumbled upon some amazing Orozco murals in the library. They are massive and incredibly detailed. If you’re ever in that area be sure to go and check them out.

Below is one example of the work. If you follow the link to my Flickr set from that day you can see more murals, the Dartmouth campus and some photos from the Path of Life Garden in Windsor, VT.

Also, if you check out the rest of the collection, there are much more pictures from Vermont and New Hampsire!
