Photo Shoot with Mr. White II

February 29th, 2008

Time: January 26, 2008
Place: University of South Alabama campus

It was a very muggy day, but Mr. White wanted to have a photo shoot (he wanted to get some shots of his fauxhawk before he cut it), so out we went. The only good thing about the weather was that the overcast skies caused for there not to be harsh shadows. However, it was this shoot that finally convince me to get my 50mm lens. The shots just weren’t coming out like I wanted. I needed a new lens because I just wasn’t getting what I wanted. I did end up getting a few decent shots towards the end.

So, that’s what’s up. Carvin looks totally different from the last time I shot him. I guess some would call that versatility. *shrug* Either way, he photographs very well.

The only big issue I still have with photography in general is using a flash. I hate it. I learned to shoot using natural light. I suppose if I got a decent flash, or a set of strobes, then the effect with look more ‘natrual.’ That’s another reason on the list of why I got the 50mm f/1.4. Wider aperture=more light getting into the lens=not as much need to use the flash in low lighting situations.

Congrats to Carvin, who’s become a father since this shoot. *sigh* We’re all growing up so fast. It’s weird being an ‘adult.’
