Model:
Sketchy

Camera:
Nikon D300 Digital SLR
Tamron Adaptall-2 SP 300mm f2.8
Old Bogen Tripod
1/60s f/5.6 ISO100

Strobist:
Minolta 5600HS 1/2 Power, diffused, camera right
Minolta 4000AF Full Power, zoomed on subject, camera right
RPS Studio wireless triggers

Description:

I'm just practicing here for a portrait shoot coming in a few days for a client. This is close to what they're looking for technically. Hopefully it's what they're looking for.

I set my tripod and camera about ten feet away from the subject. The subject is in open shade with two flashes opposite from the direction of the sun in late afternoon. This puts the subject directly between the flash and where the sun is in the sky with some tree's between the subject and the sun. I have one flash with it's built in diffuser on half power to soften some of the light on the subject. The other is full power and directed at the subject's face with the fresnel lens zoomed in to the face. The two flashes share a stand and wireless remote.

I know the bright green grass is a little distracting, but this is a different location from where I will be doing the actual shoot. So hopefully I won't have anything super distracting like that.

Nikon SB-20 1/16 Power, 1/3 CTO Gel, on the ground only hitting the microphone.
Kalimar 1/4 Power, Full Red Gel, low camera right adjacent to subject facing subject

Three lights, two gels, and one of my last photos for advanced photography class.

This is straight out of the camera. I imported this into photoshop to convert the RAW file to JPEG and crop it square. That's it.

I did not include the album cover text that went with it for the assignment.

Went to Disneyland in the middle of the week to blow away some more film. It's good fun, but a little stressful. I want to make sure I've got the right shot, right composition, right exposure, right everything. Film always makes me stop and think about what is most important.

This shot could have been slightly stronger if I was closer with the 1.4x or even 2x adapter on the lens. I liked how she framed her face between her arm and wand.

Being in shade and having a few hot spots, I didn't think she would come out well, but this is straight out of the camera.

By far the best dancer on this parade. We often find him on the back of the last float. If you ever get a chance to watch him dance, he's full of energy the entire parade route. Also a fantastic swing dancer, when he gets over to the Jump, Jive, Boogie, and Swing Party.

Mine!

I've shot this subject before with this lens and film body, but not with this film, I wanted to see the difference. I really love the color rendition of this film.

My first shot with film on a parade with the 300mm. It's daunting, especially with the light being so harsh.
