The Liquid is still too close!

So photo booths are all the rage these days. I came across this video from a friend. Its quite addictive! The Jay Leno show has done a prank series where they place a "free photo booth" on a sidewalk in California. The photo booth gives a sarcastic comments in the booths, waits for the peoples reaction then fires the camera! What a great concept. Watch one, you'll be hooked there are a ton on youtube!

PJ piece of the week

Our photojournalism quarter is in full swing and I am getting a bigger wish list each week. I find a new lens I would want or a new flash acessory. I have decided to post a Photojournalism piece of the week as I come across equipment that is important in the field. It should be exciting to do research on all of the equipment. Looks like I will need to strike the lottery this week! I'll start with the big boy first. The piece of the week is a 70-200 2.8. I am a nikon shooter so this is the lens for nikon, the canon looks a bit different and it little bulkier. I love this lens. it is great for sports and events that may require covering distance. It is a bit heavy but a monopod helps. 

I also thought that this was really cool. It is a diagram of the lens construction on the inside.

Low Key Assignment

Today we had our lowkey/highkey shoot. What fun! It was a great day in the "girls room" We had so much fun and its a shame the guys missed all the excitement. Lots of creativity flowing and problem solving. The time flew by and I think everyone got some great shots!

Eugenio Recuenco

I have been thinking about the fashion/fantasy shoot we have coming up for our Portraiture class. I have been searching high and low for inspirations and have come across some great work. I found a new favorite photographer, Eugenio is well known for his fantasy style photography. I love his use of dramatic lighting and detail in every piece of the image. I cant wait to see what we all come up with for this assignment!
    Check out Eugenio Recuenco's work!

Spot News on Spot Rd

In our Photojournalism class we get extra credit for spot news. Late tonight there was a car crash just a few miles from my house. Well, i had to go! The police were friendly, and it ended up being a pretty nasty wreck. I hope everyone is ok, I arrived after the ambulences had left but the cars were in bad shape.

Sports Assignment

Check out my shot from football this week! The critique when well and I am excited about going to shoot again after we learned so much yesterday about shooting sports! I went to Norcross and it was great going back to visit. Congrats to Norcross on a good season so far!

Atlanta Photojournlism Seminar

I am getting very excited about the Photojournalism seminar coming up in December. It will be held at the Marriot in Dunwoody. It is an annual event where photojournalists from around the world present there work in a competition. The quality is outstanding and I cannot wait to catch some of the lectures and presentations during the three days. Anyone interested in journalism should check it out!
