I just finished a piece for the Melbourne Museum of Art Fund raiser. It was an adventure in mishaps, failed experiments and catastrophic failures. I just finished the final prints and dropped the piece off at the Museum.
It is an interesting piece, high speed capture of light bulbs being smashed by a hammer and capturing the aftermath of shattered bulbs. I also time lapse video I need to edit and get out, but first I need to sweep the floors and remove all the shattered glass…
I have been shooting a great deal for Space Coast Living, and for my self.
I have a bunch of images to get out, up against a few dead lines…
I will have a new piece @ the Melbourne Museum of Art this saturday. I broke alot of stuff to get that shot…
Here is a quick edit of the images from “Portraits of Halloween” theme I have been experimenting. I dug out an old track from the early experimental group SPK.
These where shot last year. I was able to shoot in side an active haunted house. The cast has know me for years and enjoyed what I had done previous years. All this was done with ambient light and flash light, yes a little flash light. I was using a first generation 5D and the 2.8f L 24-70 lens. I wanted to isolate the subject out of the darkness and get close to breach the personal space of the character. This set I tried to use more of the ambient light in some of the shots to give more of an over all feeling of the images.
Friday night was Holy Trinity’s’ homecoming game against Melbourne Central Catholic. I was on assignment from Florida Today Newspaper to cover the event. I only had time to cover the first half of the game to make my dead line. Holt Trinity has a very nice field that is well-kept and well-lit. I was using my 5D mk II and the 2.8f L 400mm. The lens is a bit over kill, I had to move away from the line of scrimmage to allow for wider shots. I need more practice tracking the ball with such a narrow field of view. The low noise of the 5D mk II full frame sensor allowed for great images @ ISO 3200, the 2.8f aperture allowed for faster shutters speed to stop most of the action. The only real down side of the 5D mk II is the relativity slow shutter cycle rate. A cropped sensor camera usually has a higher cycle rate. The Canon 1D mkIII is a sport camera with a smaller sensor and very high cycle rate. It sounds like a machine gun when the camera is set to burst mode.
Last I when with Derek Gores to Obsession Boutique in downtown Orlando. Obsessions was having their one year anniversary. The owner had invited Derek to display some of his work in the store.
I was invite by Derek Gores to go with him to a one year anniversary for Obsession Boutique in Orlando tonight. Derek has some of his work in the boutique and I will be there to shoot some of the work and the cocktail party
