Ski Mask

just thought I'd throw some more shots of real live people on here. Most of my stuff looks post-apocalyptic and devoid of life, but I do shoot people alot. Its just usually friends so it gets kept more on the low. for class: http://www.nothingbutfreights.com/12oz/model/abehind.jpg'> http://www.nothingbutfreights.com/12oz/model/asquint.jpg'> for laughs: http://www.nothingbutfreights.com/12oz/model/closeup.jpg'>

last of my class stuff till fall....

the lighting was rather hard. just one hotlight with a cheap softbox. I was really unintrested and rushed through sets with both models (hence the background being exposed) so the large line behind me could keep moving. I think things would have worked a little better had we been given some guidance as to what to shoot. We're not advertising a line of clothes...its not headshots for 8x10s....its just to learn lighting. yet we were given no options of what lighitng to use or where to put it. other students expressed the same kind of feelings, so I know I'm not alone. but I'm happy with the results. the shadow detail and tone is a little better on the slides, but overall its still very hard. I'll see what I can do about getting some kind of scans of the other model on here. I got a couple where she's looking a little more happy to be there than this girl. warm smile, slight better lighting. Before this class I was feeling like I'd be bored to tears and not give the slides a second look. held no intrest to me. now I wish I had put some work into it...caught my intrest somehow. Considering most of my shots are completely devoid of people, who'd think I'd suddenly be intrested in shooting models? thanks for the concise feedback tyler...

just cause its the last thing youd expect from me....heres a modeling student I shot for class. please excuse the color...I swear to you the slides are warmer and look 10000x better. http://www.nothingbutfreights.com/12oz/model/sideways.jpg'> http://www.nothingbutfreights.com/12oz/model/tiredmodel.jpg'> completely fed up.

thats the part I'm working on right now.....seems unlikely. :D

I would like to take this post to express my frustration at getting quality scans of slides. arrrrghghg. sensia gives such good warm tones, yet all the damn scans on the cd are fucking icey cold. :heated: on another note, why have I slept on shooting models? how fucking ill a job is this? I just did two bullshit short sets with teenage modeling students, but the results are ill. and the idea of spending my life shooting photos of hot women and getting payed good money to do it definately appeals to me.... that cat is ill!

I missed that first time around. you are one lucky sonuvabitch. Leica is $$$$$$$$$$$ :eek: :king:

I beg to differ. I use a finepix 2300 for all my digital shooting. Its got good batery life, and has survived being thrown over a large fence into the mud without any damage. 0 complains here.

picked up the paper today, and one of my shots was being used to advertise the photography school I'm taking a class at. :cool: I just figured it was going in the course catalogue. nice suprise.

for slides I'm using sensia 400, but the print stuff is mostly generic or konica 400iso. I did a bit of 800, and 200, but the vast bulk of shooting is with 400.

that ones a bit of a cheat. its a shot from my digi that has the standard pre-set modes. I set it to "no flash" so it takes a longer exposure, and voila! the trick is keeping the camera steady against the window of the car as its moving.

shit. sometimes I feel like this should be renamed the "massage ese's fragile ego" thread. glad people like it. heres some more random junk. http://www.nothingbutfreights.com/12oz/slides/yard.jpg'> http://www.nothingbutfreights.com/12oz/slides/woodchip.jpg'> http://www.nothingbutfreights.com/12oz/slides/vertbldg.jpg'> these next 4 are scanned prints from slides, so pardon the fucked up retarded colors. http://www.nothingbutfreights.com/12oz/slides/ambulance.jpg'> http://www.nothingbutfreights.com/12oz/slides/fisheye.jpg'> self-portrait I guess. fisheye without the fisheye http://www.nothingbutfreights.com/12oz/slides/marblesky.jpg'> http://www.nothingbutfreights.com/12oz/slides/shadow.jpg'>

alright. flash of inspiration. fuck sticker trading, lets trade photos. whos down? 4x6, 5x7, 8x10, whatever floats your boat. I know I can think of a few people who's prints I wouldn't mind having to put on my wall... As far as my shit goes, I'd only really be able to trade lab prints. dont have enough spare darkroom time to get busy on larger stuff. but some people might get blessed if they're intrested ;) who's down? nothingbutfreights@hotmail.com

yeah. so I finally got my first taste of the darkroom. hooooooooooooo boy. my addiction to photography is now AA worthy. Walked out of class and booked the first chunk of darkroom time they had available without hesitating. too bad its 13 days away. You'll see the results soon after, I assure you.

just to keep it moving. repeats from some of my older threads. http://www.nothingbutfreights.com/12oz/12ozphoto2/flyback.jpg'> http://www.nothingbutfreights.com/12oz/12ozphoto2/tundra.jpg'> http://www.nothingbutfreights.com/12oz/12ozphoto2/ambulances.jpg'> http://www.nothingbutfreights.com/12oz/12ozphoto2/shoes.jpg'> http://www.nothingbutfreights.com/12oz/12ozphoto2/snowchute.jpg'> http://www.nothingbutfreights.com/12oz/12ozphoto2/hangingfloors.jpg'> http://www.nothingbutfreights.com/12oz/12ozphoto2/rooftoprubble.jpg'>
