Literally. My car was filthy. Sean’s wasn’t too bad, but it wasn’t clean either!
bored.
oversaturated. noisy. messy. just having some fun…trying to entertain myself. blah.
weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :]
I went over to Sean’s work today to shoot some pics of his CLEAN ride. It was pretty bright outside, so we shot in the shade (not ideal because the buildings were so close that the reflections were harsh). Next time we will plan a more formal shoot and do things right.
My mom asked me to snap some shots of a ‘lil project she’s been working on. I headed over to the place around 5 this afternoon, and the sun was intense. I got kinda lazy on the post processing…real lazy. =/
It’s been a long day o.O
I’ve gone through both the 50 1.8 and 1.4, but I had to let them both go eventually. I replaced the 1.8 with the 1.4, but I found that the 1.4 wasn’t getting as much action as I’d hoped. There were a number of times I wanted to whip it out, but it was too short.
For those of you that are curious about the above shot…
Anyway, I’m considering picking up an 85 1.8 to replace my 50 1.4. Not quite as quick, but I think it’ll see a lot more action. It will make a great portrait lens.
I owed (actually, I still owe) Andrew a favor, so what better than a photo shoot from me? 
I really dislike shooting at sunset for a variety of reasons. For one thing, I’m not a fan of the warm golden light that the sun provides at the time. I much prefer sunrise lighting over this. The sun also seems to cast longer shadows at sunset for some reason. Or maybe it’s just my imagination. As a result, I had to shoot against the sun. It actually turned out in my favor this time. I posted this on Club Lexus and most people seemed to rather enjoy the sunset. Typically, however, I prefer to shoot with the sun behind me.
Unfortunately, I did not anticipate this photo shoot so I did not bring all my gear to SD with me. One of the key things I left at home in LA was my tripod. As a result, I had to bump up the ISO to get quicker shutter speeds. This assured me more steady shots because I had to do 3 different exposures for each image. I had to underexpose for the sun and overexpose for the car. The images didn’t turn out bad considering they are all hand held HDR shots.
