One of the cool things about Shutterfly is that once you order a book (or 2), you're on their list and you get some ridiculously sweet offers (free shipping, 20% off, 50% off, free books, free photos, free cards). I'm sure they count on you ordering other things while you're in there getting free stuff (but I usually don't).<br />
<br />
Anywhoo, enough of the babbling. Here's a book I put together for the Cleveland Air Show this year. Looks pretty sweet. Can't wait to get it. There's something about holding a book of your photos in your hands. Makes it almost seem....real. Like I'm actually a pro-photographer.<br />
<br />
It's pretty wicked.<br />

As you may or may not know, this is the 3rd year now that I've gone to the Cleveland National AirShow. I used to go to airshows all the time as a kid, but have recently picked that passion back up. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All shots were done on a Nikon D50 using a 70-300mm /5.6 lens that I borrowed from my good friend and mentor Jerry over at <a href="http://www.jkuamoophotography.com/">JKuamooPhotography</a>. Check out his work, I've learned a lot from him and he's taken me under his wing as I've worked on growing my photography skills/passion (and business).</div>

I did find that the lens is threaded and will take 37mm filters/lenses...which amuses and delights me greatly since that's also the threading on the 3CCD Panasonic Video cameras I have. Yay.</div><div><br /></div><div>I'm not sure how regular these OSD posts are going to be. I think with natural lighting, the camera will do better. </div><div><br /></div><div>Another oddity, when I put on the telephoto and wide angle lenses that I have, I can see them in the view finder...so it became apparent that it's not a 'through the lens' view finder...which means I'm not going to know what kind of shot I get until I actually shoot it. Again, interesting.</div><div><br /></div><div>Not sure that this will evolve in to much more than a novelty, but it amused me for a day...and that's a start. :-)</div><div><br /></div><div>-AT</div>Todd S.http://www.blogger.com/profile/12325273406252122643noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2957519021443476710.post-14523774123312948292010-07-30T08:42:00.003-04:002010-07-30T08:57:15.914-04:00Columbus SkylineYesterday I was asked to shoot photos for a CD Listening Party for the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/FlyMental">FlyMental Family</a> of artists. The shoot was at the <a href="http://www.riverclubrestaurant.com/">River Club Restaurant</a> which, in my humble opinion has one of the most amazing views of the Columbus Skyline that I've ever seen. I had a hard time focusing on shooting the party because the skyline was so amazing.<br /><br />I managed to get in quite a few shots, though (many of which can be found <a href="http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=70308&id=1422790453&l=67e60e05df">here</a>).<br /><br />Here's a couple of my faves:<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO8jHqdoWS8topbLN2wq_LdJZ3xihnl9L8TBoyfi9KGyyDcIuWWQU1NV7MpCmYXZvjEVmws-J3sDvBgWcBZmulhrfaL6foW9Hdpms_3vDnDyPiSOgt-fcEpexZNY1_fb0LSlPyFyU6kI5-/s1600/DSC_0832_Edited.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO8jHqdoWS8topbLN2wq_LdJZ3xihnl9L8TBoyfi9KGyyDcIuWWQU1NV7MpCmYXZvjEVmws-J3sDvBgWcBZmulhrfaL6foW9Hdpms_3vDnDyPiSOgt-fcEpexZNY1_fb0LSlPyFyU6kI5-/s400/DSC_0832_Edited.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499679440658450018" border="0" /></a><br />As the evening wore on, the moon decided to peek in, literally, like an eyeball over the city.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicNSFvmjh-AeXJKTb90QVYL7dYRarRYDuE6hah3SNClrWRjHsfaZppxO1jhr4176LVP_WQAUdQtXasae2DvmQQmrDVME9jsQzewPgXogPxOdG3II5-Dk3WK8EiOy-Mi2W0l1zvSjcooQ6W/s1600/DSC_1071_Edited.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicNSFvmjh-AeXJKTb90QVYL7dYRarRYDuE6hah3SNClrWRjHsfaZppxO1jhr4176LVP_WQAUdQtXasae2DvmQQmrDVME9jsQzewPgXogPxOdG3II5-Dk3WK8EiOy-Mi2W0l1zvSjcooQ6W/s400/DSC_1071_Edited.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499679455297712882" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I'll try to get more shots up this weekend.

Five to be exact (with 4 others to be photo-shopped in at various points in the process).</div><div><br /></div><div>I have never shot that many animals before so it was very interesting to me. Learned a few things about the shoot.</div><div><br /></div><div>1. Pets (and small children from what I understand) can NOT be reasoned with.</div><div>2. Artistic License has no place in a commissioned shoot until AFTER the shots are delivered that the client wants (luckily I think I'm gonna be ok with this one).</div><div>3.

Not a bad investment to take places I didn't want to take my D50. I had thought of using Jen's old Fuji J20. It had a busted LCD, but I thought it took decent pix. A night using it at the last <a href="http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=52470&id=1422790453&l=dfb000f90a">PubCrawl</a> was too annoying for me to continue going down that route (although it might make a fine webcam, who knows).<br />
<br />
So, I dig this little point and shoot. It's easy enough to throw in my jacket (something not really possible with the Fuji S700 or the Nikon D50). I've come to the realization that for quick down and dirty stuff...keeping the Fuji for stills (and maybe video) and the Pepto-Cam for video are probably the way to go-quick, cheap, easy. When I'm working on things for Cannes or National Geographic, I'll switch to my other gear (hey-a guy's gotta dream, right?)<br />
<br />
Speaking of dreams-saw the sun rising on the way in to work. The seasons are starting to shift to the point where I'll probably start carrying the D50 around more often (as S.Carmona admonishes I should be anyway).<br />
<br />
I got these with the Z20. Good for wallpaper and a quick reminder that even on the way to something as utilitarian as a 'job,' there is still beauty around us...if we just wake the f*** up and look at it. (yes, you may quote me on that :-)<br />
<br />
Enjoy<br />

So I shift the plan to Sunday. The sunrise portion of the plan didn't happen, but by 9 O'clock or so, I was over at Hoover, camera in hand.</p><p>The Photos from the shoot are up on my Facebook Page-click <a href="http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=37762&id=1422790453&l=639beea58d">HERE</a> to see them.</p><p>I parked where I normally park and decided to walk on what I thought was the nature trail.

It was VERY serene and peaceful (and may prompt me to take up that particular sport in the spring-we'll see).</p><p>I got some good pictures. The shots up on Facebook are the unedited JPEGs. I shot RAW+JPEG, so I may get some better images once I get in and play with the lighting.

I have been remiss in my photographic duties.<div><br /></div><div>We just got done with the Dream Conference at ICC and the weeks leading up to it were a crazy mix of excitement and terror-but it all came out very well.</div><div><br /></div><div>That's not to say I haven't been taking pictures, I have. I just haven't gotten to where I've been able to get them ready to post.</div><div><br /></div><div>The most recent set that I shot was of a couple at our church that's getting married next Saturday (I'm shooting the wedding, too, so that should be interesting). </div><div><br /></div><div>They asked me to shoot some engagement photos for them. I used my favorite haunt, Inniswoods and here are the results. <a href="http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=34908&id=1422790453&l=27ced283ba">T and O Engagement Photos</a> (It's a facebook album, but you should still be able to view it).</div><div><br /></div><div>Other than that, the shots have been mostly random. I did wind up getting the <a href="http://www.bythom.com/sb50review.htm">SB 50 DX</a> flash. It's older, so it has to be used completely manual, but that's ok because (a)it's teaching me WHY I need to do things a certain way instead of just doing them and (b)having a old flash for fill lighting is better than no flash.</div><div><br /></div><div>I also built a<a href="http://www.diyphotography.net/homestudio/blz/soft-flash-diffuser"> home-made diffuser</a> out of $1 worth of velcro and a $.90 bottle of rubbing alcohol. Thanks to this site I now have, for $2 something that everyone else wanted to charge me $20-$40 for.</div><div><br /></div><div>Sure, I plan on getting an SB-600 and maybe a 'real' diffuser someday, but for now, these will work just fine (and I could actually see the difference in the shoot at Inniswoods).</div><div><br /></div><div>I'll have some more pics up soon. </div><div><br /></div><div>Until then, happy shooting!</div>Todd S.http://www.blogger.com/profile/12325273406252122643noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2957519021443476710.post-81602870152454136862009-09-13T22:36:00.001-04:002009-09-13T22:36:37.349-04:00Sorry I’m Not Home Right Now…<p>…I’m walking in a spider’s web.</p> <p>So, as I was getting ready to head out to a friend’s house to watch the Buckeye’s game, I looked out the window and saw what looked like cotton candy on a tree out back. So, I had to risk missing the kickoff to get these pix.</p> <p>The web was about 1ft from side to side (I suck at math, so you can figure out the diameter).</p> <p>The spider that made it went up to the branch above (And he blended in pretty darn well)</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_k42Hk-UeCD8/Sq2sLfrmBfI/AAAAAAAAEsM/qPyCu0s3b7g/s1600-h/DSC_4914%5B6%5D.jpg"><img title="DSC_4914" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" height="280" alt="DSC_4914" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_k42Hk-UeCD8/Sq2sMLj8UnI/AAAAAAAAEsQ/3fbrMY_u0Wk/DSC_4914_thumb%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="411" border="0" /></a></p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_k42Hk-UeCD8/Sq2sMmH_fjI/AAAAAAAAEsU/bmiRWvZrliM/s1600-h/DSC_4915%5B4%5D.jpg"><img title="DSC_4915" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" height="382" alt="DSC_4915" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_k42Hk-UeCD8/Sq2sNExt4lI/AAAAAAAAEsY/ApVtfMt8wnM/DSC_4915_thumb%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="263" border="0" /></a> </p> <p>I was pretty happy with how they came out.

Sometime around Thursday or Friday, though, I just trusted in the fact that composition and framing would win over super zooming. </p> <p>Out of the 1600+ shots I snapped (I know, right?!?!), I came up with about 150 that I was really proud of.  The full album can be found on my Facebook page <a href="http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=33307&id=1422790453&l=7197d4b475">here</a>.  </p> <p>I’ve put a handful of the pictures that I’m really pleased with.</p> <p>Please keep in mind that I went with a mission to get some great shots, but in between the demonstrations, I found myself transported back to when I was about 8 yrs old and my neighbor would take me to the Dayton Air Show and I saw the Thunderbirds for the very first time. In between that childlike fascination and the scream of afterburners, I found that I had a great time AND got some pix I’m happy with.</p> <p>  <a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_k42Hk-UeCD8/SqW62V_x12I/AAAAAAAAEpk/ETdOJmqWzRc/s1600-h/DSC_3064_edited%5B2%5D.jpg"><img title="DSC_3064_edited" style="border-right: 0px;

The Park’s Closed. The Moose Out Front Should Have Told You…<p>Indiana Trip, pt. 1-The Indiana State Fair Photos.</p> <p>I was trying to create a Facebook Album for these shots so that I could tag them and do all that fun stuff…but uploading 200+ pix at 10 at a time was ridiculous. So I’m doing it the way I should have started it 2 hours ago.</p> <p>Here’s the full album of the Indiana State Fair pix and then, following that, will be some shots I pulled out because I like ‘em! :-)</p> <p> <div class="wlWriterEditableSmartContent" id="scid:66721397-FF69-4ca6-AEC4-17E6B3208830:da2c744e-3ae9-4a65-a015-c0d22bfad53f" style="padding-right: 0px;

The one that I got with the camera had plastic threading and one of the threads tore. It still locked in, but it wasn’t firm, and I think more dust got in than I bargained for.</p> <p>But Jerry saved the day. He had a (really nice, imho) lens that he wasn’t really using.

I know that I need to be more diligent about things like F-stops, lighting, ISO speeds and the like…but I’m not there yet. And last night, as the sun was setting on Hoover Dam, I didn’t feel I had enough time to be TOO concerned with that aspect (I know…not a good move for someone who wants to be serious about shooting photos, but I was on a time crunch here).</p> <p>I went back to using Photoshop Elements to clean these up. I have an older version (and may upgrade soon), but it’s going to get me closer to a Photoshop workflow that I’m gonna probably adopt soon.</p> <p>Anyway, back to the pictures. Here are a few of the 100+ pictures that I shot last night as the sun was setting over Hoover Dam and Reservoir. I think this fall when the leaves turn, I’ll plan on a sunrise shoot, too.</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_k42Hk-UeCD8/SnSDv1VfkSI/AAAAAAAAEUA/fuBKurEGWJc/s1600-h/DSC_1416%20copy%5B2%5D.jpg"><img title="DSC_1416 copy" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" height="164" alt="DSC_1416 copy" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_k42Hk-UeCD8/SnSDwJozvZI/AAAAAAAAEUE/vETobrzTrQs/DSC_1416%20copy_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" border="0" /></a></p> <p>This is the only one in the batch I corrected with LightBox.

This one is actually my favorite of the night. After spending an hour walking up and down the damn shooting pictures, I come back to my car, put the gear in the back seat and get ready to leave. As I’m looking out the windshield, it frames this tree perfectly.I was actually stunned. I sat there and debated for like 5 minutes whether to get out and take the shot or if I had taken enough photos for the night. In the end, I put the car in reverse, backed up about 4 feet and left the headlights on. I stooped down in front of the car and positioned the camera about where my head was when I was looking at this tree through the windshield.</p> <p>And I’m glad I did, it’s one of my favorite shots. <a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_k42Hk-UeCD8/SnSEE031efI/AAAAAAAAEXI/SXem4HwBDKg/s1600-h/DSC_1531%20copy%5B2%5D.jpg"><img title="DSC_1531 copy" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" height="244" alt="DSC_1531 copy" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_k42Hk-UeCD8/SnSEFPf123I/AAAAAAAAEXM/TKCudNsKuJw/DSC_1531%20copy_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="164" border="0" /></a> </p> <p></p> <p>Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!</p> <p>-ATS</p> Todd S.http://www.blogger.com/profile/12325273406252122643noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2957519021443476710.post-5852243405918279062009-07-28T07:51:00.001-04:002009-07-28T07:51:54.317-04:00Monday Didn’t Get Away Clean<p>I thought, since I didn’t take my camera to work, that I would get through the day without taking any pix.
