Photography Homework – Lines

stuicide — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 15:58:08 +0000

Last week I turned to my buddies at TiedtheLeader for a photography homework assignment. The only thing they had to do was capture “Lines” in their photograph. It was a fairly abstract assignment, but there were a lot of amateur photog’s that were learning a lot right now, so I thought it would be good for them.

There are a lot of great results and it was great to see so many varied shots and how people interpreted the homework assignment. Comment and lemme know which ones are your favorite!

Here are the results…

Some inspirations

stuicide — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 16:15:18 +0000

After taking pictures for a while, it’s easy to get disuaded and feel that my pictures aren’t good enough. The best way for me to find some inspiration and realize that I just need to learn more, and put in more time is to browse some of my favorite photographer’s sites. They range from top of the line photographers, to people that just do it for fun on the weekends.

Vincent Laforet – Got addicted to him when I saw the pictures he took for Newsweek during the 2008 Olympics. Some really great moments in there.

Chase Jarvis – First heard about him through the Nikon D90 announcement video (almost made me switch to Nikon!) and then spent a long time watching all of his videos, great stuff and a full archive of videos.

Strobist – Just now starting to get into it, I have to get more off camera lighting before I can really start to experiment with this stuff.

GreyscaleGorilla – I don’t even know how I stumbled onto this site, but he works out of Chicago which is one of the cities I love most. I even caught a picture of my old apartment building when looking through his archives.

Zack Arias – Just found this guy last week, his studio work is amazing, what he does with lighting/white backdrop is amazing and really inspirational. Especially since a lot of that can be reproduced although, not as great as what he’s done.

Luke Wilkins – A student from Knoxville. Just across the state. Some great pictures and a lot of good compositions. Made me realize I need to step up my composition skills.

Tim Crowson – A personal friend of mine, takes some amazing pictures, I love his series from Japan, must be a great place that I want to visit one day.

The Drive Home

stuicide — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 17:27:12 +0000

Through 4 years of Undergraduate Studies and now that i’m going back for my MBA, I have had to commute to and from the University of Memphis. Last night I wanted to capture the 20 or so miles that I have to drive each way to get my learn on.

I think it turned out really cool, especially for the first full run I have done with these settings.

Enjoy!

Pic a Day #1

Here’s a picture I took at the Historic Collierville Town Square. I was working on changing apertures or depth of field. In order to emphasize closer elements, it will blur the backgrounds which makes the item in the picture stand out.

Check out the the collection here.
