My random life, infront of the lens.

scarred land....

burnt tree

this was shot on a short vacation to the Black Hills of South Dakota. i took a trip out there with my girlfriend for the 4th of July in 2012. this was out by Jewel Cave.

i shot SO MANY photos out there and i am just now finally getting around to taking a peek at some. pretty sure i over shot. this was back when i was on my HDR kick and everything was bracketed. this is not and HDR shot, just a single exposure.

shot at F22 1/8th of a second ISO 250 using my Sigma 17-35mm lens.

this week i am using an image from a recent et i shot for a local tattoo parlor.

the media guy for Vishnu Bunny Tattoo sent out a Facebook post asking for some help with an upcoming shoot. they are working on monthly shoots that showcase the talents of their artists. in this case i was teamed up with another local artist named Arianna. she is a clothing designer in Sioux Falls, SD. she does some amazing work and is super creative.

unfortunately the original shoot we had planned fell through due to a winter storm that occurred. so this shoot was %100 on the fly and made in the moment. we moved a few thing around in her home workspace, and she wore a set of lingerie that she had recently created. i had to rely on 2 speedlite flashes and one shoot thru umbrella to get this set done. lucky for me she was into the idea that i presented and we were able to get it done fairly quickly, with no hassle.

please check out the Vishnu Bunny website at http://vishnubunnytattoo.com and if you are in town, stop by for a visit. they are also a local art gallery that showcases talent from Sioux Falls and the surrounding area. they art changes monthly and usually has a certain theme or featured artist.

here is a link to the full set on their website: http://vishnubunnytattoo.com/?page_id=695

this week i did a sunset silhouette. i went east of Sioux Falls to Arrowhead Park and shot towards Sioux Falls. nothing too special about the shot technical wise. i just waded for the sun to set below the horizon and snapped away.

i chose a tight/narrow crop on this, because i am debating on getting it printed on either Fuji high gloss, or a metallic paper, and encapsulated in plexiglass. this is very similar, ok its actually the same thing Peter Lik does for his prints. over the weekend i met a local photographer that does the same thing and was able to look at a few of his encapsulated prints. they were AMAZING. the look and reflection are so awesome. it gives a different dimension to the print. the other thing is the fact the prints last longer and can not be damaged as easy!

as always, thanks for looking/reading.
