Last but not least

Hey guys,

My classmates and I had a field trip day which was different but good. Different because it was not a typical field trip were everyone stays together and stuff. This field trip we were pretty much by our selfs. We went to a little town name Madison.We shot the building/ houses on this tiny town. Which is another form of a low rise. The camera used was 4x5 and the lens used was a 135mm lens. The film was Fuji chrome provia 100 iso. The settings on the camera were f-stop of 16, shutter speed for normal was 60th of a second. Then I bracket to get a over and under the bracket was about 1/2 stop difference from the normal. Then the film was developed and the scanned and here is the final image. Enjoy!


Have a good day!

Business/Commercial Interior

Hello,

The next assignment is a business/ commercial interior. That means that we can shoot anything from a restaurant to a doctors office. This a very unique experience we all faced challenges when it come to this assignment. Challenges from nailing down a venue to technical challenges. I had a good time shooting this assignment, being on location was just fun. This assignment was shot with a Canon 5D Mark II, used a 17mm tilt-shift, a tripod, and a light meter. The settings were iso of 100 f-stop of 16, shutter speed of 3.2 seconds, 4 seconds, and 6 seconds. I started using strobe lights but the lights were over powering the ambient light and it just not looked right. When the image was taken into photoshop a high pass filter was use, the lens correction filter was used, the clone stamp and similar tools were used to get rid of two poles that were in the middle of the room. Getting rid of those two poles was a challenge but I did it :). Ok guys here is the final image. Enjoy!


Have a great day!

Residential Interior

Hello guys,

Well our next assignment has to do with residential homes. We are suppose to shoot an interior from a home. Well to say the least I had a really hard time finding a home interior but I found what I could. I really wish that I had a better one but at the end I'm happy with my residential interior. I have to say that is just simple not much to look at but simple. The residential was shot with a Canon 5D Mark II, using a tilt-shift lens, and a tripod. I didn't use any strobe lights for this I just use ambient light. The settings were f-stop of 11, shutter speed of 25 seconds, iso of 100. Then it was time to work up the image, I used photoshop. Use a high pass filter, lens correction filter, and curves. This led to this final image Enjoy!



Have a wonderful day!

Final Image: Low Rise

Hello,

The low rise assignment presented some challenges but over all I'm very happy with this image. This building is interesting because it has angles that are pointing in different angles (if thats a good way to explain it.) Any how this building was shot with a Canon 5D Mark II, the lens use was a 24mm tilt-shift lens, and a tripod. The the f-stop was set at 22 only because I was having a really hard time getting both sides of the building sharp. The iso was of 100 and the shutter speed was at 30th of a second. After shooting the building came time for post production. This image went thru a couple of techniques in photoshop. One thing was the need of a high pass because of the sharpness problem with both side so the building. Second the sky was replace to make the building look better. A few post had to be taken out of the image to make it look better. Ok guys well here is the final image. Enjoy!


Have a wonderful day!

Low Rise

Hey guys,

Next assignment is low rise which means that the building has to be less than 10 stories. As part of the assignment we have to go out and find the buildings that we would like to photograph. I went out a couple of time but I have to say that I had a hard time finding a low rise that I liked. It seems that low rise buildings are not as attractive as the high rise buildings. Well after looking for a while I found a low rise that I like to photograph the bad thing is that I only found one building that I liked. Here is the building. Enjoy!


Have a good day!

Final Image: High Rise

Hey guys,

Ok so remember long time ago that my classmates and I were studying architecture photography. Ok well the first assignment we had to photograph a high rise building that was more than 10 stories tall. This was not done with a digital camera but instead with a film 4x5 camera. The 4x5 camera is a great tool to have when it comes to architecture. It makes things so much better and easier (if you do it right). The settings for this shoot was pretty much a 4x5 camera mounted on a tripod. The film iso was of 100 (Fuji Provia Chrome) 90mm lens, f-stop was set to 16 and the shutter speed was set to 60 for the normal. Then I bracket about 1/2 a stop difference from my normal to get a over and under. Ok guys well here is the final result. Enjoy!




Have a great day.
