Miss Emberly



After shooting one of my assignments I decided to shoot a few extra pics of my model. She is such a beautiful little girl. It was hard to get her to sit still and she really wanted her picture taken, but, she wouldn't sit still. So between her mom and I we were trying to get her to sit still. She would pose a few times and then she would start wiggling which is normal for a little girl her age. Finally I told her that I had to go and I couldn't take any more pictures of her. So on the second picture you see here this is the expression I got when I told her that. On some of the shots I started out with a Nikon D700, but I ended up using the Canon 7D for these shots. F/7 @ 1/80 on the first shot and F/5.7 @ 1/160 on the second shot and ISO 200 (for both). Light source was natural light and a 285 Vivatar flash.

Lifestyles Illustration Assignment


For this assignment we were asked to shoot around the home computer (desktop or laptop). The image was to produce emotion, time and place. It is to illustrate relationship, family, friendship etc., working/playing together in a positive, inviting atmosphere. We were to turn in 5-10 vertical and horizontal shots. Here is one of my shots I am submitting. I used a Canon 7d on this shot. Settings were F/16 @ 1/8 with an ISO of 320. I have included a shot of my setup. Oh yes, I forgot to mention both lights were not used in this shot. I actually ended up using only the main light to the left of my shot because I wanted a more natural lighting making it look like light coming in from a window (on the left) only thing used for back lighting was natural light coming in from window over to the right/behind of subjects.
