In 2012 I've been making an effort to get out and do more. A part of this is finding more people to work with and shoot. Last friday we met up with Heather for about 20 minutes. We walked across the street to a field and shot some test shots. She was super cool and I'll look forward to shooting her again.

I recently shot 3 3/4" Hasbro Avengers action figures. It was quite a task. This is the Iron Man shot, he was suspended on fishing line. We added some effect on post, but remove them to make sure there wasn't any confusion with the toys. To read more on the experience / setup and to see the rest of the team head over to the Blog.

Post Process Friday...back by popular demand...I decided to do one. If you are not familiar with PPF, let me explain. First, THIS IS NOT MY IMAGE. Back during my 365 I did what I called Post Process Friday. Someone would send me their SOOC image and I would post process it I would one of my own photos.

This image was taken by good friend, Kim Oberski (aka .{kim unscripted}.) These are one of those images that I wish I had taken. I love how the colors on the girls pop..and the captured moment is perefect.

As far as post process, I debated on if I should go darker or lighter with the forrest. In the end I choose a little lighter. To me the girls represent hope. In lightroom, I mainly adjusted the white balance and curves. Slightly straightened the horizon. Sharpened the image a tad to recover some of the detail of the forest. Also added a little fill to brighten up the girl. Then played around a little with the toning. After that I saved out to JPG and opened it in PS to add a slight vignette and some magic sauce. There you have it...Happy PPF.

Some of you might remember the one light shot I took of Tiffany back in Nov:

Prior to that we did some walking around shots & was able to test my new 50mm 1.4G in natural light. Since several of you asked, I grabbed several of my favorites and made this triptych. Overall I'm much happier with the 1.4g over the 1.4d. The only downside is the focus is slower than the older version. Also I'm realizing I'm not a big fan of nikon's newer plastic feeling design without the aperature ring.

I was commisioned to do a concept image for Fox Studio's upcoming feature "Chronicle". The only thing photoshopped in post was the levitating truck (and the faux tilt shift of course). Head over to the Blog where I have addition images and information.
